Congrats to OpenAI for yet another product that has nothing to do with the word "open"

And Apple's product line this year? Phones. Nothing to do with fruit. Almost 50 years of lying to people. Names should mean something!
Did Apple start their company by saying they will be selling apples?
What's the statement that OpenAI are making today which you think they're violating? There very well could be one and if there is, it would make sense to talk about it.

But arguments like "you wrote $x in a blog post when you founded your company" or "this is what the word in your name means" are infantile.

It is open in the sense that everyone can use it.
Only people who exactly share OpenAI's concepts of what "alignment" and "safety" should mean can use it to its full potential.
Not people working on AI or those who would like to train AI on their logs
If they would have launched it with Oracle DB style licensing their company would have been dead in 1 year.
