Uhhh is that not pretty much the definition of a "tech megacorp"?

Teeeeeeeeeechnically what they linked is for running the AI model inside your own machine, and so not much is given to OpenAI when you do so other than I guess attention.

.... But yes, they are absolutely a tech megacorp. It then depends on how you define "giving your soul" when it pertains to said tech megacorp.
