This claim is nonsense, as any visit to the Wayback Machine can attest.

In 2016, OpenAI's website said this right up front:

> We're hoping to grow OpenAI into such an institution. As a non-profit, our aim is to build value for everyone rather than shareholders. Researchers will be strongly encouraged to publish their work, whether as papers, blog posts, or code, and our patents (if any) will be shared with the world. We'll freely collaborate with others across many institutions and expect to work with companies to research and deploy new technologies.

I don't know how this quote can possibly be squared with a claim that they "did not imply open-sourcing AGI".
