FWIW I take his writings with a hefty pinch of salt these days. It seems incredibly concentrated on OpenAI to the detriment of anything else. This was only cemented when he ended up appearing on some OpenAI marketing video.

This is fine. He is his own person and can write about whatever he wants and work with whoever he wants, but the days when I'd eagerly read his blog to get a finger of the pulse of all of the main developments in the main labs/models has passed, as he seems to only really cover OpenAI these days, and major events from non-OpenAI labs/models don't seem to even get a mention even if they're huge (e.g. nano banana).

That's fine. It's his blog. He can do what he wants. But to me personally he feels like an OpenAI mouthpiece now. But that's just my opinion.
