Please can anyone give their opinion on this.

There's a real chance OpenAI might die soon. imo if they are left with 10 people and no funding, they should just release their IP and datasets to the public.

I've built a petition around this - [link redacted]

The idea is that the leftover leadership sees and considers this as a viable option. Does this sound like a possible scenario or Am I dreaming too much?

Isn’t the remaining leadership the ones that want to slow down, seek regulation, and erect barriers to entry? Why would they give it to the public?

[dougmwne]

You are dreaming. This was all clearly led by the Quora CEO. The most likely outcome is that he will agree to sell OpenAI to himself, not release valuable IP into the public domain.

The most damning part of all for the remaining board is that a week ago the thought of OpenAI dying would have been unthinkable but now people are genuinely worried it might happen and what the implications are. Even if safety was the genuine issue.. they should have planned this out a lot more carefully. I don't buy the whole "OpenAI destroying itself is in line with its charter" nonsense.. you can't help guide AI safety if you don't exist.

If the board are concerned about safety, this will never happen.

[biermic]

I don't, they'd probably rather sell what is left.
