The successes it already has should be celebrated on the company’s own enterprise websites, and the company should recognize and invest in those stories and share them.

After all, if there is nothing to hide, then surely it makes more sense to get the trial over and done with. That would free up OpenAI’s resources for its looming IPO, the introduction of an entirely new product category it claims has nothing to do with Apple (bar the services of around 400 ex-Apple staff, including former Chief Designer Jony Ive), and attempting to build its business.
