If OpenAI controls an ASI, OpenAI’s leadership would be able to unilaterally decide where the resources go, regardless of what various contracts and laws say. If the profit caps are there but Altman wants to reward loyal investors, all profits will go to his cronies. If the profit caps are gone but Altman is feeling altruistic, he’ll throw the investors a modest fraction of the gains and distribute the rest however he sees fit. The legal structure doesn’t matter; what matters is who physically types what commands into the ASI control terminal.
Sama knows this but the investors he is courting don’t, and I imagine he’s not keen to enlighten them.
