No, it will probably never die. It is reinforced by the dissonance between their name and early philosophy and their current actions.

It should though, it's a stupid way to phrase the argument.
OpenAI pivoted from non-profit to for-profit and it's fine to criticize them for that, if that's the argument you're making. But focusing on their name specifically doesn't make sense. I mean, what do you expect, that they rebrand to something else and lose a ton of brand recognition in the process? You can't possibly expect a company do that when they have no incentive to.
You also can't expect people to disregard the history of the company and the meaning of words because it has decided to change its direction. It seems to me that they made the choice to not rebrand and accept the fallout because it's less damaging to them than the loss of brand recognition. Why do you feel the need to defend them?
