What is the incentive of corporate apologists such as this to come in and defend a company that they have no equity in and that might monopolize LLMs causing tears in societies?

Who's defending? Parent comment is saying this discussion is boring. I agree with parent comment.

We get it, it's not open. Yeah we know. We hashed this out thoroughly back in 2018 when they changed. Nothing changed as a result of that, they are still named OpenAI.

At least search "how come openai isn't open" first!

How is someone pointing this is a dead horse that gets brought up every other day a “corporate apologist”?

Where, exactly, did they defend the stance? All they did was point out that it’s been said ad nauseam.

Also because many people (even on this site) have already tried lobbying for software freedom and lost.
