Drama King Sam Altman
I think anyone running Open AI would make that call.
Anyone in that role would be worried about Musk using end users as a way to acquire model distillation data to feed Grok with GTP.
Musk is a direct competitor, has been feuding with Open AI for years, and he has shown that he’s totally ok with acquiring data in aggressively shady ways.
Yup, but not everybody in charge of OpenAI would have a pissy self indulgent blog post about it produced under the company brand.
That blog post struck me as something pretty boring. It has the stink of a legal and PR team. What was the pissy / self-indulgent part?
It's all unnecessary. Cold have just said "we're exercising our option" without all the ethical criticism.
IMHO, if you have that many enterprise clients, you can’t just nuke product support without a press release that explains the rationale. It’s safer to explain the reasoning and as the last few sentences indicated, help them transition to a new IDE that works with your product.
