This was inevitable, really. There's no way that OpenAI was going to leave that kind of money on the table.

Although I do find it weird that they're so concerned about their products being used in other, relatively less objectionable ways, but are OK with this.



The government probably already had a secret law that allowed them to use it anyways...


Microsoft can sell and host GPT with their own terms , so this was just PR from day one .

More likely they are anticipating public news about military usage sooner than later and removing this to Mitigate the pr damage .


Money gained minus PR cost has to be a big number for them to do it.


I'm guessing the PR cost approaches $0


I disagree. Probably not much of their customer base cares, but I think lots of really smart researchers think a lot about these things. openAI doesn’t want them to turn elsewhere.
