OpenAI Ends Profit Cap in Restructure, Microsoft Yet to Sign Off

OpenAI just ripped off its financial training wheels. The AI lab removed its profit cap in a sweeping restructure, betting big on unfettered commercial ambition. Microsoft—OpenAI’s $10B sugar daddy—hasn’t signed off yet. Cue the regulatory side-eye.

The move signals a hard pivot from OpenAI’s original ’capped-profit’ idealism. Now it’s racing Meta, Google, and a dozen VC-funded startups to monetize AGI. Because nothing ensures ethical AI development like a gold rush.

Wall Street’s already salivating. ’This proves AI is the new oil,’ muttered one hedge fund manager between lines of cocaine. Meanwhile, ethicists are drafting their resignation letters.
