    I’m confused, how can a company that’s gained numerous advantages from being non-profit just switch to a for-profit model? Weren’t a lot of the advantages (like access to data and scraping) given with the stipulation that it’s for a non-profit? This sounds like it should be illegal to my brain

      Careful you’re making too much sense here and overlapping with Elmo’s view on the subject

        A stopped clock is still correct twice a day.

          And OpenAI is still less correct than a broken clock.

      Their non-profit status had nothing to do with the legality of their training data acquisition methods. Some of it was still legal and some of it was still illegal (torrenting a bunch of books off a piracy site).

      These people claimed their product can pass the bar exam (it was a lie). Tells you how they feel about the legal system
