My most cynical take is that this is OpenAI's Conway's Law problem, and it reflects the structure and sycophancy of the organization broadly all the way up to sama. That company has seen a lot of talent attrition over the last year—the type of talent that would have pushed back against outcomes like this.

I think we'll continue to see this kind of thing play out for a while.

Oh GPT, you're just like your father!
