This is why, when you claim to be running a non-profit to "benefit humankind," you shouldn't put all your resources into a for-profit subsidiary. Eventually, the for-profit arm, and its investors, will find its nonprofit parent a hindrance, and an insular board of directors won't stand a chance against corporate titans.

Interestingly it was the other way around this time, at least to start...

This was pretty clearly an attempt by the board to reassert control, which was slowly slipping away as the company became more enmeshed with Microsoft.

Does that mean that the move of the board was actually good for openness of AI ?

The board were literally doing their job. Anyone claiming incompetence is just mistaken about the stated goal of openai: safe available agi for all.

Throw in a huge investment, a 90 billion dollar valuation and a rockstar ceo. It’s pretty clear the court of public opinion is wrong about this case.

That's not their stated goal, you're misinterpreting it by changing the wording.

Sorry, I read a quote from one of the people involved in this mess and assumed it was direct from the company charter.

Can you fill me in as to what the goal of OpenAI is?

> Creating safe AGI that benefits all of humanity

Benefit and available can have very different meaning when you mix in alignment/safety concerns.
