Yes. But my post (and the one I replied to) are talking about Jessica's early donation to OpenAI non-profit. Did that somehow "transferred" to be shares in the for-profit or did Jessica purchased some during the transition (hence the financial interests OP accused her of)?
No, donations to the non-profit do not transfer. They're considered a donation, you get a tax right off and that's that.
I think OP is saying she is calling her investment in the for-profit arm a "donation". Which is kind of true and kind of false.
False in the sense it's not at all a donation, but having a profit cap you could see as being an unusual restriction that you could claim a normal investment wouldn't have, and so some level of generosity is involved in still choosing to invest even when there is a profit cap in place, which is there because of the non-profit nature of the parent company.
True in the sense that the for-profit arm was put into place to raise more money for the goals of the non-profit, so it is a money raising for the non-profit, but the money is raised in a for-profit way.
In that sense, she maybe can get away with calling it a "donation", even if in reality it isn't one.
Now I don't know if she actually donated to the non-profit, or she invested in the for-profit, have no clue.
But I did find it suspicious to say that you didn't "donate" because you believe in AI, but because you believed in Sam, when at the time of the non-profit, Sam wasn't CEO, and "believing in Sam" doesn't really make sense at that point. Either you believe Sam can deliver on AI innovation, which would imply your belief in Sam is indirectly because you value AI progress. Or you believe in Sam, as in, you believe he can 100x your investment and make you a bunch of money. Which if you claim you don't care about AI progress, I can only interpret you mean you believe that Sam could 100x your investment, and you didn't really care what the business venture he is using to do it is, since you think he's the key to ROI. Which would mean her "donation" are actually referring to investment in the for-profit.
