This seems to me like an example of how difficult it is to organize a company around a goal other then making money. As a non-profit, OpanAI was not supposed to be a profit maximizing enterprise. But how is a board supposed to opperate, and set objectives without a clear goal like profit maximization? Usually a boards represents the owners of the business and their interested. The OpenAI board does not represent the owners because there are no owners. So the board is just 6 people and their opionions. Hard to see how that can work.

The difficulty, in this case, doesn't seem to lie in the chosen objective. Rather, the investors, ex-CEO, and many, many employees don't believe in the non-profit objectives. They want money and power. So, it seems like the difficulty is building an organization where people willingly reject money and power when presented with the option.
