| That assumes that every problem can be solved with money, and that the money (or the PRs the money funds) will be welcomed by the community. By talking about what OpenAI needs Bohan is hopefully starting a conversation with the community in order to engage with everyone respectfully and to work with them. Railroading an open source project with money or dev time in order to force it to go in the direction you want is not the right way. Those things should be available if the community asks, but they shouldn't be the opening offer. |

| I thought OpenAI has an AI that can code. |
