Apparently the thing of “people mixed up openphil with other orgs” (in particular OpenAI’s non-profit and the open society foundation) was a significantly bigger problem than I’d have thought — recurringly happening even in pretty high-stakes situations. (Like important grant applicants being confused.) And most of these misunderstandings wouldn’t even have been visible to employees.
And arguably this was just about to get even worse with the newly launched “OpenAI foundation” sounding even more similar.
