When you put it that way it kind of reminds me of FTX, they too were all about leading the way on regulation. IIRC the impetus for the entire thing coming crashing down was because the other big exchange's owner thought it was extremely hypocritical how they talked about inviting regulation while operating just like most other crypto firms, completely outside of decent financial controls.

Of course not to imply that OpenAI is the same as FTX.
