I read that you joined Open AI

I have no affiliations with Open AI. In this case I'm driven by "Don't judge a book by it's cover"-motivations. Especially in high stakes situations.

But it seems that the organisation named "OpenAI" will do much more than promote openness. There is a little confusion between the name of organisation and the idea of letting everybody to run their own AI code.

I think taking the name of an organisation as ultimate authority of what the organisation is about is a bit near-sighted.

Making good strategic decisions is complicated. It requires looking at where a move is likely to lead in the future.
