This is incredibly depressing news. Scam Altman is now in control of the supply chain of a significant portion of the Python community.

Astral to join OpenAI

Astral has entered into an agreement to join OpenAI as part of the Codex team.

@veronica sigh. It never ends.

Stage 1: announce you will help "the community"
Stage 2: make an ok project people start to use.
Stage 3 (you are here): consolidate hold over entire ecosystem.
Stage 4: monetization.
Stage 5: Enshittify to increase profit extraction.
Stage 6: Abandon project to refocus priorities.

🙄

@thatdnaguy Yup, that's the grifter recipe.
