Everyone I speak to who have have been building on top of OpenAI - and I don’t mean just stupid chat apps - feel like the rug has just been pulled out from under them.

If as it seems, dev day was the last straw, what does that say to all the devs?

View on HN

Company with an unusual corporate structure designed specifically to be able to enforce an unpopular worldview, enforced that unpopular worldview.

I get that people feel disappointed, but I can't help but feel like those people were maybe being a bit wilfully blind to the parts of the company that they didn't understand/believe-in/believe-were-meant-seriously.

It feels like they’ve had plenty of time to reset the direction of the company if they thought it was going wrong.

Allowing it to go so far off course feels like they’ve really dropped the ball.

I think that's where the “not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities” comes in.

What unpopular world view exactly?

It's almost like by wrapping someone else's service, you are at their mercy.

So you better be planning an exit strategy in case something changes slowly or quickly.

Nothing new here.

I work in consulting the genai hype machine is reaching absurdity in my firm. I can’t wait until Monday :)

God I hope this means the c-suites in my company fuck off with the AI bullshit for a bit
