I agree that the fact that they started off aiming to open source their model and calling themselves [Open]AI and eventually moved away and became [Closed]AI is extremely fishy. I believe that having an active and fostering environment where people can contribute to open source LLMs is very valuable too. However, in this capitalistic society, it's also irresistible to make money. OpenAI is under Microsoft's wing now, and to keep the stakeholder happy, they need to make money and build the moat.

We already have Big Bank, Big Food, Big Pharma, Big Tech, so I won't be surprised that we will have Big AI in the future where only 3 companies control it. It's almost inevitable, unfortunately.
