First, creating real AI is infinitely more important to me than making a
big profit. Anyway if I make real AI then I can get rich personally by
going around and giving speeches about it ;p
Secondly, your comments do not do justice to the full complexity of
potential relationships between for-profit and non-profit entities. But
this is a topic to discuss with lawyers with appropriate expertise, not to
be debated among us amateurs on this list...
