🚨 OpenAI just REMOVED the AGI clause that was a structural protection of OpenAI's charitable mission, while jury selection was happening today The 2019 capped-profit structure had three protections for the charitable mission: 1. 100x profit cap: REMOVED in PBC conversion 2. AGI clause: REMOVED today 3. Microsoft exclusivity: REMOVED today All three are gone. This is exactly what Musk's lawsuit alleges: the people running OpenAI systematically dismantled the mission-protection mechanisms. Today they did it again. The defense theory just got harder. OpenAI's defense includes: "Microsoft's $13 billion-plus investment was necessary for our mission. Without that capital, OpenAI couldn't have shipped GPT-4 or scaled ChatGPT." But today, on the morning of trial, OpenAI announced they are decoupling from Microsoft: • AGI clause REMOVED. The nuclear option that let the non-profit board terminate Microsoft's commercial rights once AGI was achieved. Gone. • Microsoft IP license now NON-EXCLUSIVE through 2032. OpenAI can license to anyone. • Cloud exclusivity ENDED. OpenAI can sell across AWS, Google Cloud, Oracle. • Revenue share capped. Microsoft no longer pays revenue share to OpenAI; OpenAI still pays Microsoft through 2030. If Microsoft was so necessary, why restructure on the day the case reaches a jury? Musk's lawyers will use this in court tomorrow.
