SAM ALTMAN PROMISED TO SHARE AGI WITH THE WORLD—NOW HE’S CASHING IN
5 years ago, Sam Altman told investors OpenAI wouldn’t chase profit.
No business model. Just build AGI, ask it how to make money, and take 0.001% of the value while sharing the rest with humanity.
Now? OpenAI is a for-profit powerhouse, with closed models, soaring prices, and a CEO accused of lying to his board, hiding ownership stakes, and retaliating against critics.
One former board member says execs even accused him of “psychological abuse”—and shared proof.
When the board tried to fire him, he came back with a full-blown employee revolt fueled by fear.
Meanwhile, open-source rivals like China’s DeepSeek are offering faster, cheaper, and more transparent AI.
If this is the AI revolution, Altman turned it into a monopoly wrapped in broken promises.
