Iβve been ignoring the OpenAI restructure mess for a few months,
but tomorrow Iβm lecturing at Stanford Law School about it again,
so Iβm catching up on what happened last fall,
and OpenAIβs attorneys got the better of the CA AG,
and maybe thatβs no surprise given who was doing the restructure work

We should all be skeptical of the marketing around PBCs and purpose trusts. AI companies are using new corporate forms to mitigate against the risk of public backlash.
