Description
FractalNode Magazine Issue 003, Article 01 — Cover Investigation
An investigation into OpenAI's original charter and its systematic dismantlement. Traces the transformation from a $1B nonprofit pledged to 'benefit all of humanity' into a $730B for-profit corporation with a $200M Pentagon contract, dissolved safety teams, and military applications — while the charter's safety clause (Section 4) remains technically enforceable. Sources include SEC filings, FTC complaints, IRS Form 990s, the Levy Institute audit, congressional testimony, and patent filings. 34 verified sources.
