Once again I'm convinced that the concept of non-profit is incompatible with moving software and technology forwards. In any real situation with accountability this group would be disbanded before Friday had been through, insane damage they've caused to OpenAI and the recent deals and depending on how this plays out they may have cost themselves market dominance.

How many more times in my life am I going to have to sit and watch a non-profit board destroy a piece of software, stagnate a piece of software or fumble a market dominance position, you'd have think we'd have learnt from Mozilla that it just doesn't seem to work.

Vision, talent and accountability to success builds real change in technology, not the sort of at best navel gazing academics and at worst outright leeches who are attracted to non-profit boards.

>watch a non-profit board destroy a piece of software,

You're saying this while the top thread on HN at the same time is how Firefox is artificially slowed down on Youtube lol. That is why they lost market share. Not because they lack the incentive to shove ads in your face, but because companies that run the internet also run Firefox's competition.

Firefox is objectivele fine. Linux is fine, openAI as a research institute would be fine. They aren't stagnant, they're being gutted or undermined by competitors that will not see them succeed.
