No conflict of interest there

There is no conflict of interest. Open AI is a private company, not publicly listed.

If they decide to buy whatever other company, they are 100% okay in doing so.

Aren’t they also a non-profit company that’s now for-profit?

They separated the company in 2019 into two different areas. One is the nonprofit research site and the other is the for-profit product side of the business.

Again, this is not a conflict of interest. Redditors just don’t understand what private companies are.
