Were they ever “for good”? With Sam “let’s scam people for their retinas in exchange for crypto” Altman as CEO? I sincerely question that.

There was never a shift, the mask just fell off and they stopped pretending as much.

It was originally called "open" and run as a not-for-profit and a lot of people joined - and even joined the board - on that understanding.

I'm not sure that's an answer to the question of whether or not it was ever for good

It’s not like tech companies have a playbook for becoming “sticky” in peoples’ lives and businesses by bait and switch.

They still call it “open” by the way. Every other nonprofit is paying equivalent salaries and has published polemics about essentially world takeover, right?
