“resulting technology will benefit the public and the corporation will seek to open source technology for the public benefit when applicable. The corporation is not organized for the private gain of any person"
I don't think it is going to be hard to show that they are doing something very different than what they said they were going to do.
In case anyone is confused I am referring to 126, 132 and 135. Not 127.
"126. As a direct and proximate result of Defendants breaches, Plaintiff has suffered damages in an amount that is presently unknown, but that substantially exceeds this Courts jurisdictional minimum of $35,000, and, if necessary, will be proven at trial.
127. Plaintiff also seeks and is entitled to specific performance of Defendants contractual obligations.
132. Injustice can only be avoided through the enforcement of Defendants repeated promises. If specific enforcement is not awarded, then Defendants must at minimum make restitution in an amount equal to Plaintiffs contributions that have been misappropriated and by the amount that the intended third-party beneficiaries of the Founding Agreement have been damaged [how??], which is an amount presently unknown, and if necessary, will be proven at trial, but that substantially exceeds this Courts jurisdictional minimum of $35,000.
135. As a direct and proximate result of Defendants breaches of fiduciary duty, Plaintiff and the express intended third-party beneficiaries of the Founding Agreement have suffered damages in an amount that is presently unknown, but substantially exceeds this Courts jurisdictional minimum of $35,000, and if necessary, will be proven at trial."
The end result of this suit, if it is not dismissed, may be nothing more than OpenAI settling with the plaintiffs for an amount equal to the plaintiffs' investments.
According to this complaint, we are supposed to be third-party beneficiaries to the founding agreement. But who actually believes we would be compensated in any settlement. Based on these claims, the plaintiffs clearly want their money back. Of course they are willing to claim "the public" as TPBs to get their refund. Meanwhile, in real life, their concern for "the public" is dubious.
Perhaps the outcome of the SEC investigation into Altman's misrepresentations to investors, if any, may be helpful to these plaintiffs.
