SamA strikes me as overly disingenuous - as if most of his interactions are marketing pieces / warfare. The entire lex + sama podcast seemed this way to me.

I’m incredibly biased though and feel slighted (as a part of humanity) by openAI’s actions, so perhaps I’m looking at his actions through a hateful lens.

I feel the same. His narrative seem very calculated. It doesn't help that OpenAI is very much the most closed Saas thing to be released in recent years. I am a paying customer for sometime, have ChatGPT Plus as well. I am still in waiting list for GPT-4 API.

Not only that, but their business model is completely unclear, which is the scariest part for me, as an individual developer.

Let's go one step forward, they use our texts online including this very comment perhaps. They have a software that can analyse all our texts at scale. But we don't get even the API access to this thing.

It is the most self-serving software ever released, consuming the human creativity both the content and the future relevance of it.
