OpenAI Extracts Reddit from Condé Nast

OpenAI to buy AI startup from Jony Ive What the other commenters are forgetting is that this is the same Sam Altman who planned and executed the extraction of Reddit from Condé Nast. This acquisition (and the Windsurf acquisition) are all-stock deals, which have the added benefit of reducing the control the nonprofit entity has over the for profit OpenAI entity. How do you extract the for profit entity out of the hands of a nonprofit? - Step 1: you have close friends or partners at a company - with no product, users, or revenue - valued at 6.5billion. - Step 2: you acquire that entity, valuing it unreasonably high so that the nonprofit’s stake is diluted. - And now control of OpenAI (the PBC) is in the hands of for profit entities.

Комментарий саркастично сравнивает сделку с тем, как Сэм Альтман якобы вывел Reddit из-под контроля Condé Nast, и объясняет схему размывания доли некоммерческой организации через переоценённое приобретение. Мем используют как реакцию на корпоративные сделки, конфликты интересов и критику структуры OpenAI.
