OpenAI Offered US Sovereign Wealth Fund 5% Equity in Exchange for Regulatory Goodwill
ADEQUATE ASSESSMENT
The offer was made before the fund existed. The fund is being assembled. The equity was offered from a nonprofit that is becoming a for-profit. All three of these things are happening simultaneously and none of them has stopped the others. Adequate has updated its org chart. The org chart is now longer.
