Nonprofit legal expert Rose Chan Loui lays out the legal case and implications of OpenAI's attempt to shed its nonprofit parent. This episode is a selection of highlights from our full interview with Rose, including:

• How OpenAI carefully chose a complex nonprofit structure (00:00:26)
• The nonprofit board is out-resourced and in a tough spot (00:04:09)
• Is control of OpenAI 'priceless' to the nonprofit in pursuit of its mission? (00:06:47)
• Control of OpenAI is independently incredibly valuable and requires compensation (00:11:06)
• It's very important that the nonprofit gets cash and not just equity (00:16:06)
• How the nonprofit board can best play their hand (00:21:20)

These highlights are from episode #209 of The 80,000 Hours Podcast: Rose Chan Loui on OpenAI’s gambit to ditch its nonprofit. These aren't necessarily the most important, or even most entertaining parts of the interview — so if you enjoy this, we strongly recommend checking out the full episode!
