Their direction is clear:

* closed

* pay per usage api to make money and have ability to shut down users

* hide their research results

* quickly build up data

* quickly advance with Microsoft in bed

* lobby law makers to regulate it

* ...so entry barrier is higher for competition

* ...so they secure as much pie for themselves as possible

* exploit any other means to increase their dominant position and keep throwing rocks at others if possible

They're open-for-business, not open-source.

The best we can do is ignore them and support alternatives.

OpenAI: no-no-no, not like that

Exactly why I personally never used their API
