We're Joining OpenAI

I don't use Alex so this doesn't affect me, but:

How many months until OpenAI no longer feels it?

12-60, but most of the acquisitions I seen executed: the teams are subsumed and the product put on life-support around 18 months in.

Since time immemorial acquired companies have claimed this sort of thing and then the acquiring companies have shut it down quick. Practically a meme at this point.

" but will stop new downloads of the app on October 1st."

This tells me that they wont be supporting it forever and at some point will sunset it. I could be totally wrong of course.

It's not only a meme, it's a Tumblog too, and I first saw it many years ago.

A coding agent that receives no updates will be useless very soon. In a few months they’ll tell you to switch to Codex CLI, and that will in fact be a good recommendation.

Highly likely the next major Xcode update will break it.

I still can't forgive Apple to buy darksky and then killing it. It was so good and Apple Weather is still not even close. Why are these big companies buying small companies that have a great product and just let it die without using their tech?
