I'm assuming this is what you mean by 'simply selling stock in the open market' so correct me if I'm wrong but Why would Open AI go public when they can raise so much private money they're valued at 500B ?
It certainly wouldn't be for fear of a lack of investment. AMD is up 30% from this announcement alone.
Openai can't go public at present. They have an irregular non profit structure. They've been negotiating with Microsoft but can't convert out of their current structure without getting a new deal from Microsoft accepting the conversion.
