OpenAI's shocking fall from grace as investors race to Anthropic

OpenAI’s shocking fall from grace as investors race to Anthropic

Los Angeles Times

I don’t know how OpenAI screwed this up. They had the best tech, the largest installed base, the best brand recognition.

And somehow instead of prosecuting the lead in all areas, they got all hubristic and sloppy and just failed to iterate on the core product, while also failing to respond quickly when Anthropic showed that coding agents are the flywheel that makes the whole company faster.

It’s like they thought they had an unassailable monopoly and speedran to the lazy incumbent position, all in a matter of months.

Sam lost the plot for me. He took too many interviews which led me to not trust him. Last straw came with him standing by Anthropic one day then throwing them under the bus the next. He showed little awareness on why that is problematic.
That's why I changed as well. I got really irritated how Altman tried to get the social credit by having principles, only to change them the moment it was convenient.
