AI is out and biznis is in at Open AI?

Open AI is in the news today for hiring a CFO and a Chief Product Officer. I think it is more broadly noteworthy that human resource stories about Open AI these days invariably involve not only the hiring of many people on the business side but frequently also the departures of notable engineers and scientists like Ilya Sutskever. I examine some recent history including Open AI's journey from not-for-profit research lab to legally awkward pseudo-for-profit company, its near implosion following the attempted and eventually failed ouster of CEO Sam Altman, and use these data points to muse on whether technology is out and business is in to such a degree as to produce impactful consequences down the road.
