- minimaxir 3y agoPresumably Elon Musk bought control of the domain.
- javierluraschi 3y agoWhy would OpenAI sell that domain?
- fragmede 3y agoMusk was a founder of OpenAI and while he doesn't have an ownership stake anymore, he likely still has some power within their halls.
- javierluraschi 3y agoNot sure if he has that much leverage... maybe he agreed to sell to OpenAI access to Twitter/X data only if the domain was part of that deal?
- orionblastar 3y agoOpenAI no longer needs the domain now that Microsoft bought them out.
- quickthrower2 3y agoai.com is not a great name. it is almost like computer.com. it is brandless
- javierluraschi 3y agoI find it quite faster to type than chat.openai.com
- saulpw 3y agoI just type `ch<enter>`. Does your browser not autocomplete commonly typed URLs? (It took like 3 sessions to get it into my history.)
- quickthrower2 3y agoTesting on my browser! c -> https://calendar.google.com/ https://calendar.google.com/ ch -> https://chat.openai.com/chat https://chat.openai.com/chat Clearly, I am a big corp using drone.
