It's amazing how quickly this company went from a "hacker startup" to "maximally corporate" within less than a year(!).
Just one year ago, it released a transcendental experimental product early and with no grand plan for monetization (chatGPT). Now, we have a polished keynote, with an "app store," a "developer platform," complete with your cheesy music and smiling company reps. How nice of them for sharing their revenue with us when we publish on their app store!
It's amazing and sad how quickly the hacker joy has been sucked out of this company.

I get the aversion to polished presentations like this, but I dunno, I work here and still feel like there's a lot of hacker joy still. You clearly aren't the audience for this presentation, but one audience doesn't exclude another.
