What has OpenAI accomplished other than a lot more publicity for AI? If I've been following the story right, Google and a few others have created all the tech breakthroughs and OpenAI just created a way for common folk to play with it then sold out to Microsoft.

I think that's a big accomplishment for OpenAI. And it's still and independent company.
