Their acquisition of Jony Ive's organization for a ton of money and that creepy webpage https://openai.com/sam-and-jony/ makes me think OpenAI is just racing for headlines and groping in the dark for some magic fairy dust.
ChatGPT isn't bad, I use it for some things / pay for it, but their spend and moves make me think that they don't seem confidant in it ...
Is all the doomer-ism about AI companies not being profitable right? Do the AI companies believe it? Seems like it sometimes.
Sam wants so bad for OpenAI to be a proper big tech company, probably one that's more culturally similar to Apple-y than Google/MSFT-y so I guess they are cargo-culting some parts of Apple. That website reminds me of a very low quality version of Apple's myth-making ala Think Different. Ive is obviously also a big part of the cargo cult.
