The source document is from 2019 and describes OpenAI's structure at that time as a 'capped-profit' LP arrangement, not a Public Benefit Corporation. The claim references events from 2025 (announced conversion in early 2025, completed restructuring in October 2025), which are far beyond the publication date of the source material.
