I mean why would anyone be surprised about this is beyond me?
I know many people on this site will not like what I am about to write as Sam is worshiped but let's face it: The head of this company is a master scammer who will do everything under the sun and the moon to earn a buck, including but notwithstanding to destroying himself along with his entire fortune if necessary in his quest of making sure other people don't get a dime;
So far he has done it all it: attempt to regulatory capture, hostile take over as the CEO, thrown out all other top engineers and partners and ensured the company remains closed despite its "open" name.
Now he is simply attempting to tie up all the loos ends and ensuring his employees remain loyal and are kept on a tight leash. It's a brilliant strategy, preventing any insider from blowing the whistle should OpenAI ever decides to do anything questionable, such as selling AI capabilities to hostile governments.
I simply hope that open source wins this battle so that we are not all completely reliant on OpenAI for the future, despite Sam's attempt.
Since I do not follow OpenAI or Ycombinator I first learned that he was a scammer when he released is crypto currency. But I am surprised that so many did not catch on to it then. It is not like he has really tried to hide that he is a grifter.
