OpenAI, back then, was also a very different organization. They were mostly a non-profit, claiming to be a research organization who’s goals were to ensure AI benefited all of humanity. Hell, I’d say Whisper, which that OpenAI did release, was very positive for humanity. It was when Sam Altman saw big dollar signs in GPT2+ that things started changing fast.
Very much this, in 2023 there was a falling out between Altman and the board of OpenAI over this, and Altman was kicked out. However some big shareholders (Microsoft) made a stink and reversed it.
I think many employees close to Altman also went to strike or theaten to leave. But I think he’s bad for the (now) company. They should’ve stayed non-profit
It wasn’t “many employees close to Altman”. It was the entire company, including the people who initiated the process of getting him kicked out. The whole thing made absolutely no sense.

And then they faked an employee letter and Lemmy sucked Altman’s dick as the board was forced to resign in turn for having principles.
I remember your sins, hive mind.
