Anyone feel like OpenAI is acting like Google lately? They announce a lot of products/features and then kill them when they realize people don't use them[0]. They also announce products way before they're ready for launch, just like google[1].

- GPT Plugins? (HN went crazy over this, they called it the "app store moment"...)

- GPTs?!

- Schedules?

- Operator?

- The original "codex" model?

[0]: I know, the diff is that google kills them despite knowing that many people use them.

[1]: I know, the diff is that google sometimes doesn't launch the announced product at all...

I don't think they've done much that's that impressive since the launch. Cancelled my sub ages ago for other offerings.

Zero moat with crazy amounts of debt and financial engineering. What could possibly go wrong?

What's with the assumption that everything needs to be a "moat"? Seems much more important/interesting to wire up society with cohesive tooling according to Metcalfe's law, rather than building stuff designed to separate and segment knowledge.

We're in a bubble, a mania, and the top company is excited to announce they're gonna do erotica.

It is hemorrhaging money, with little in its offering to distinguish its competitors.
