Walk me through how the sofic result OpenAI publixhed profits OpenAI but had no benefit to humanity? Why were Thom and others working on it if it had no value?

We've had the end result all along without OpenAI. All this technology does is, for a subscription fee, adds a middleman who you can talk to naturally. How does that which solely uses all the technology preceding it, is by itself a benefit to humanity? Get your head out of the stock market, AI is by design not creating anything new.

Very simply put it's an advertisement for OpenAI.

Just like their "oops we hacked hugging face".

Everything OpenAI does is to drive hype. They aren't honest or a good actor but they sure have good hype.
