Things are not Boolean, and they should not be. There is a gradient between "believing in the thing" and "purely wanting to make money" and most people fall somewhere in between those.

I have known of plenty of people (myself included) who would not invest in some companies because they think there are moral issues with that company. Same thing.

> Just FYI: OpenAI tried going the non-profit route, it didnt work, because suprise, suprise, in the grand scheme of VC things nobody wants to donate 10 billion dollars to anything.

Exactly, so they went something in-between, but in reality it is very much for-profit.
