TBH they should just rename to ClosedAI and run with it, I and others would appreciate the honesty plus it would be amusing.

However if you are playing for the regulatory capture route (which Sam Altman seems to be angling for) it’s much easier if your name is “OpenAI”.

If you go full regulatory capture, you might as well name it "AI", The AI Company.

You never go "full" regulatory capture.
