Depends.
Would it lead to increasing his wealth?
He was not the founder of OpenAI
nobody was "the" founder of OpenAI. Sam was one of many cofounders, though I don't see how the particulars here are relevant to the point above.
There are several points above:
> wasn't OpenAI the company that was formed as a nonprofit to limit the risks of LLMs?
>> the whole “rationalist” movement is full of those lying fks
>>> Is Sam even a rationalist, or describe his views as rationalist?
The relevancy is that a question of how and why the company was formed isn't fully answered by only talking about his motivations.
