Meta Platforms recently submitted a letter to California Attorney General Rob Bonta, urging him to prevent OpenAI's plan to transition from a non-profit organization to a for-profit company. According to The Wall Street Journal, the letter was sent by Meta on Thursday, stating that allowing OpenAI to make this conversion would set a concerning precedent, potentially enabling startups to enjoy non-profit status while ultimately shifting to a for-profit model. Meta emphasized in the letter.

There is a divide in the technical direction between the radicals and conservatives at OpenAI. The former pursues rapid commercialization, while the latter focuses on technical risks. Altman's commercial ambitions have propelled OpenAI's rapid development but have also led the non-profit organization to gradually stray from its original intent. The relationship between OpenAI and Microsoft has become tense, and managing ties with tech giants poses a challenge. This dispute highlights the conflict between founders and the organization, commercialization, and social responsibility. OpenAI still faces significant choices and needs to find a balance among various demands.
