people working at the San Francisco-based startup "look down on what they consider legacy companies"

I can't help the feeling Altman is the great leader of all them, who love to look down on us.

All these startups are owned by venture capital firms, who will eventually sell to one of the handful of companies that own everything, OpenAI is no different and Altman is like every other tech CEO that sells out

He was president of Y Combinator. He's practically the blueprint for them.

That's not exactly true. OpenAI is structured like Mozilla, where there's a nonprofit parent part which owns a for-profit subsidiary.

Idk all the details, but I suspect that the typical exit strategy isn't in the cards for them without some legal shenanigans.
