Didn't think I'd need to explain this:

The hypocritical part is doing so right AFTER beginning to take off commercially.

An honorable board with backbone would have done so at the first inkling of commercialization instead (which would have been 1-2 years ago).

Maybe you can find a better word for me but the point should be easily gotten ...

Almost more of a "takeover" by the board after it's successful lol

OpenAI hasn't made billions in profits. Their operating costs are huge and I'm pretty sure they're heavily reliant on outside funding.

Three other board members stepped down this year. It might not have been possible before.

Which puts into question the whole non-profitness anyway, but that aside:

They have still been operating pretty much like a for-profit for years now so my point still stands.

Ofc it's "not possible" in that it may incur personal costs.

But it's the honorable thing to do if you truly believe in something.

Otherwise it's just virtue signalling.

Your point hinged on billions in profit. Which you just made up, or assumed to be true for some reason. I don't think any of your points stand. Don't use fact you haven't checked as preconditions for points you want to make.

No, they may literally have not had the votes.
