Yup, I agree.

Some of his endeavours could be in humanities interests. I don’t know, I think time will tell. I didn’t realise he owned and operated OpenAI and something like DALL-E2 is trained (correct me if I’m wrong) on stolen artists’ datasets.

His only role in openAI was as an early financier among many, whether it’s looked at as good or bad there isn’t much attributing it to him. Their current commercial enterprises are driven by Microsoft who basically doubled the investment that it was built on and gained the rights to some of their technology.

Thanks for clarifying. I suppose that’s something venture capitalists do regularly with a wide variety of start-ups.

That’s literally the exact opposite of what happened, it was not profitable nor meant to be for profit, it was founded as a nonprofit for which he was an initial investor, then after he was off the board because he has nothing to contribute to any tech company besides money (and any personal involvement beyond that is many times proven to be a detriment), Microsoft invested in them and made them for-profit
