Are there any cool companies left? I think consumers and employees have become more cynical.

    - OpenAI is already 'evil'.
    - Apple has staying power but I still wouldn't consider it cool anymore.
    - Likewise Tesla.

What did OpenAI do? I know they refused to share their proprietary model even though they're called "Open", is this what you're referring to?

Thanks! I wasn't aware of this, sounds like a dystopic horror story in the making :|
