A Closer Look Into Doge Designer’s Reply

Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, recently shared a post asking people to provide prompts to showcase Sora’s capabilities. Concerning this, among hundreds of replies seen on his post, one sparked a sense of frenzy within the AI realm.

Doge Designer’s comment asking Sora to provide a video for “a guy turning a nonprofit open source company into a profit-making closed source company” appears to have birthed a torrent of speculative buzz today, February 16. Additionally, Musk’s repost of a screenshot of this incident garnered further attention within the industry, curating inferences for OpenAI’s prominence within the market ahead.

OpenAI was initially started as a nonprofit and an open-source organization, mirroring its name, “Open” AI. However, as of today, the company is placing itself as a maximum-profit company, contrasting with the firm’s initial vision during its establishment.
