>"Open AI CFO".

While i don't want to say completely ignore what she says based on her postion, the fact that she is the Chief "Financial" adviser should atleast raise a few red flags when considering her words on the matter.

That's hardly an objective source. She not only is in the C suite of a genAI company, she's the CFO of OpenAI itself. Everything she has to say is going to be a sales pitch.

They absolutely are. They'd be crazy not to.

And many people are being laid off as a result, which is why they're keeping it quiet.
