Feels like OpenAI has like every ruling class person on it's board or in some kind of partnership or something. Absolutely bizarre structure. But it makes more sense when you see companies as clubs for American rulers. Every big company (including the one I work for) has people who came directly from other companies in various industries on their board. They're often basically pushing for a closer relationship with said companies too. You could call it "incestuous" but it's basically just networking for this country's economic managers. But for some reason this is supposed to be hush hush or something. As if everything is about "free market competition" between entirely atomic, self-interested, nameless faceless companies. It isn't. It's just people.

Also this is literally a diagram from their website:

The only real thing I see on their website about who's at the company is at the bottom of that page:

OpenAI is governed by the board of the OpenAI Nonprofit, currently comprised of Independent Directors Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D’Angelo.
