I don’t quite buy your Cyberpunk utopia where the Megacorp finally rids us of those pesky ethics qualms (or ”shackles“, as you phrased it.) Microsoft can now proceed without the guidance of a council that actually has humanities interests in mind, not only those of Microsoft shareholders. I don’t know whether all that caution will turn out to have been necessary, but I guess we’re just gleefully heading into whatever lies ahead without any concern whatsoever, and learn it the hard way.

It’s a bit tragic that Ilya and company achieved the exact opposite of what they intended apparently, by driving those they attempted to slow down into the arms of people with more money and less morals. Well.

Who says that the OpenAi Board has humanity's interests in mind? Copy and reality are often different. It's more likely that said Board feels most of its pressure from the Press, which is for-profit and often has partisan agendas that are detached from humanity's interests. Whereas profit motive traditionally does pesky things like incentivizes company response to the market (humanity) and keeps them from doing braindead things like freeing up their talent to be scooped up by "megacorp" because either a. ego or b. pressure from outside forces with their own agendas.
