Possible scenario. We can’t know about the internal motivations of OpenAI unless they tell us and I haven’t seen any statements from them outside the fact that they don’t care if it’s bad at math.
Would you personally believe a company if it told you what it’s internal motivations were? For me I guess it would depend on the company but I struggle to think of a company that I would trust in this regard. That’s especially true when it comes to tech companies which often are operate unprofitably for long stretches of time with the assumption being that they’ll be able to make massive profits in the future.
