Thanks for explaining, but who are you considering to be the “regulator” who is “captured” in this story? I guess you are thinking of either OpenPhil or OpenAI’s board as the “regulator” of OpenAI. I’ve always heard the term “regulatory capture” in the context of companies capturing government regulators, but I guess it makes sense that it could be applied to other kinds of overseers of a company, such as its board or funder.

In the regulatory capture framing, the person who had a role equivalent to a regulator was the OP who joined OpenAI’s Board of Directors as part of an OpenPhil intervention to mitigate x-risks from AI. (OpenPhil publicly stated their motivation to “help play a role in OpenAI’s approach to safety and governance issues” in their writeup on the $30M grant to OpenAI).
