The board is like a who's who of privilege and nepotism - https://sfstandard.com/2023/11/17/openai-sam-altman-firing-b...

Why nepotism? The article you linked to has no mention of particular family ties that got them there? If anything it’s a remarkably meritocratic board, when compared with most other industries

The fact that it’s all well connected wealthy people is kind of the point, the board is there (among others) to bring advice and experience

What credentials does Tasha McCauley have to be on the board of a company like OpenAI? I can think of 100s or perhaps 1000s of people more qualified to be there.

i think its more about nepotism being the child of someone important.

If you really want to nitpick you could say it's cronyism, but we all know what nepotism means in this context, and there's no requirement nepotism be based on family ties anyways.

On a side note, what is the with the ownership structure diagram?

OpenAI non-profit --owns---> Holding Company for Open AI non-profit

That makes no sense. How does a non-profit "own" a holding company, that own the non-profit?
