Heya, I'm the author! I can promise you that I am 0% affiliated with OpenAI and have no qualms with calling them out for the larger moral, ethical, and societal questions that have emerged with the strategy they've pushed.

I do earnestly believe their models are currently the best to work with as software developers, but as I state in my post I think this is the state of the world today and have no premonition for that being true forever.

Same questions apply to Anthropic, Google, etc, etc — I'm not paid by anyone to say anything.
