Ilya took a swing at the king and missed. It would have been awkward to hang around after that debacle.

And what has Ilya done since? Genuinely curious.

All these people are replaceable lol, they’re employee tier. If they’re not CEO then they’re not that important. You might disagree but that’s why there’s 1 guy at the helm (being reductive here, use your brain and actually stop over thinking but the board chose him or whatever) and everyone else follows him. If someone leaves you get another one.

All this drama is mostly irrelevant outside a very narrow and very online community.

The demise of OpenAI is rooted in the bad product market fit, since many people like using ChatGPT for free, but fewer are ready to pay for it. And that’s pretty much all there is to it. OpenAI bet on consumers, made a slopstagram that unsurprisingly didn’t revolutionise content, and doesn’t sell as many licenses as they would like.

Imo they'll soon make a lot of money with advertisement. Whenever chatgpt brings you to some website to buy a product they will get some share.

good luck with that when there's gemini which does it far better
