It is quite clear the true purpose of OpenAI is the exact opposite of the name, meaning it is to run ahead of the curve, understand the impact of developments, and ensure they are locked away by any means necessary at least until they can be exploited by groups represented by the board.

Altman was trying to play this game in parallel with commercialization, which brings a whole pile of conflicting groups into the picture. People have utterly underestimated the depth of interest represented by the board.

It is highly amusing how many of the EA cult are on each side, and how both will portray whatever they are pursuing entirely for personal goals as for the greater good when in reality no one has a clue.
