bit off topic but openai seems to be focusing completely on Apple's ecosystem now, particularly for the US market too and as non-apple user outside of the US I feel completely left out.

Half a trillion dollar company not being to produce multi-platform software when it has never been as easy as it is today is a really bad look. I genuinely don't understand how they could ever fulfill their claims of being good AGI stewards with this product track record that leaves out big majority of humanity.

I guess they want to do it first where the opportunity for monetization is best.

Is this how they're going to steward AGI as well? Take it to places where monetization is the best first? This is a nonprofit "for good of humanity" company btw

Yes! You bet it is. Sam said it so himself. He promised investors they’d make AGI and then ask it how to make money.

They also define AGI as “generates $100 billion in profits”.

But it’s not. They explicitly tried to become a for-profit.

Don’t be fooled, Sam and company give zero shits about “the good of humanity”. All they want is money and power.

I always believed so but it still feels bad to be proven right time and time again. There's a sliver of hope that's always there that maybe, just maybe, people actually care.
