I’m out of the loop. What’s the reason to not like OpenAI?

They sold out. They used to be pretty open, now they’re just another corporation.

The “selling out” was done under Altman though, no?

Sure was! Don’t believe I’ve posted anything to indicate that I’m an Altman stan, I’m just here to watch OpenAI squirm.

Dude I’m in the loop (Following this all pretty closely) and I have no idea what’s happening. Everything coming out is pure speculation and rumors, I don’t think any of us can have a formed opinion. Lemmy here has been batting back and forth on who the bad guy is and frankly - I don’t think anyone except for employees there know

I guess the question was not about the recent firing but about the company history in general.

Aside from probably ignoring any and all copyright and initiating the AI craze, did they do anything worse than any other company?

I wouldn’t even bet on that. It seems that no one has a full picture of what is going on.

This is corporate politics. Most likely there are no good guys. So just grab a bucket of popcorn and watch the fireworks.
