They expect:

- To be paid a lot of money by OpenAI to go away, or

- To be paid a lot of money to have a role in vetting future AI products, or

- To be paid a lot of money by wealthy individuals in the AI alignment camp, or

- To be paid a lot of money by OpenAI's competitors to block research until they can catch up with OpenAI.

Interesting. I hadn’t thought about this as a pure money grab yet.

This was my hot-take as well. The issue here is that OpenAI has some pretty large backers that know the FTC well. Not sure how this will pan out.
