Sure, but that's OpenAI's particular set of circumstances. Generally speaking I struggle to see investors preferring a nebulous non-profit over a for-profit with a clear path to market.
Of course. It's just that the comment I've been responding to suggested OpenAI going the "open"/non-profit route was to 1) get top researchers and 2) get investment. I was arguing that this doesn't seem to (generally) be a good way to get investment, but I agree with you in that in their case investment just wasn't a consideration at all.
