Well this is only as strong as the makeup of the board! OpenAI has the same model.

> Among other members of the Foundation's board is Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of HTML, HTTP, and almost everything else about the web.

Well that's good news!

Yes. Though I'm having trouble imagining Tim Berners-Lee as an enforcer, able to keep a for-profit side in line, in a post-Altman boardroom.

(Whether it's slamming a rogue exec up against a pillar in a parking garage whilst cursing corrective instructions, or deploying his vast power to destroy his enemies from a distance, or whatever skills and resolve are required.)

I can't wait to see the movie!

    DON LAFONTAINE:  In a world...
                     Where the Internet was betrayed...
                     One man...
                     Is called to serve again.
                     And he's dispensing his own brand of standard.
That seems to be a board of ex-CERNers.
