While I think the reaction of StackOverflow is not good, I don't understand the users either.

EDIT: seems like the language model won't be free, I understand then.

OpenAI is a terribly misleading name.

That is how it started. It was a non-profit with the goal to release all their patents and research for free.

That lasted for a few years, and then the people running it realized they could instead all become filthy rich and nobody could do anything about it. So they did that.

But don't worry, they are a capped for-profit now! They can only make 100 time the amount of money as they have investments. So they'll stop when they have reached ... checks notes.... Around $1.3 trillion.
