> The OpenAI drama is the biggest case for Twitter supremacy in months.

How so? Any meaningful post from the openai (or whoever) twitter account were immediately posted to threads. A lot of tech press were posting directly to threads instead of twitter, for example kara swisher.

Kara Swisher was also posting to Twitter, but more to the point, all of the major players and commentators were on Twitter. Greg Brockman's resignation letter was on Twitter. The employees who protested Sam's firing were on Twitter. The (second) interim CEO posted his hiring and resignation on Twitter. Etc.

I can't see any post on her twitter https://twitter.com/karaswisher, is this a fake swisher account? I had no problem seeing her post on threads through this entire ordeal.

E.g.: https://twitter.com/karaswisher/status/1725702501435941294?s...

weird, why doesn't it show up on her actual account? https://www.threads.net/@karaswisher just works

Twitter no longer shows current posts to anyone that isn't logged in.

that is certainly worse than threads

On top of that Ilya, Sam, Mira, PG, Elon, even fcking Shkreli was doing his trolling on Twitter. Nothing notable happened on Threads.

Literally everything was happening on Twitter.

From spaces to “OpenAI is nothing without its people” to heart emojis.

Sam and Greg posted their statement there.

This is a huge win for Twitter.
