As someone who has no dog in this race (er, well, I'd like to see both companies crumble!), I think this is a natural response to Anthropic's paternalism, which has always been there but has lately been much more apparent.
Yep. Can confirm I do not work for OpenAI. Anthropic does all of this terrible shit and the first instinct of this guy is to assume anyone who calls it out works for OpenAI. Hilarious. Let me uno reverse it, he must work for Anthropic hence his defensiveness!
