Possibly too cynical, but I find myself wondering whether the conditionality was in fact engineered by OAI in order to achieve this purpose. My impression is that there are a lot of VCs shouting ‘Take my money!’ in the general direction of OpenAI and/or Altman who wouldn’t have demanded the restructuring.
No, that’s what I think too: they were turning down investors, even, excluding them from the upround. The conditionality was probably not necessary at all. But it does serve a valuable purpose for the inevitable lawsuit.
