It's clear that Adam himself has a strong conflict of interest too. The GPT store announcement on DevDay pretty much killed his company Poe. And all this started brewing after DevDay announcement. Maybe Sam kept it under the wraps from Adam and the board.
- tedmiston 3y agoI've heard others take this stance, but a common response so far has been "Poe is so small as to be irrelevant", "I forgot it exists", etc in the grand scheme of things here.
- splatzone 3y agoWhen it's your company, it's never small.

- alsodumb 3y agoPoe has a reasonably strong user base for two reasons: (i) they allowed customized agents and a store of these agents. (iI) they had access to GPT-32k context length very early, in fact one of the first to have it. Both of these kinda became pointless after DevDay. It definitely kills Poe, and I think that itself is a conflict of interest, right? Whether or not it's at a scale to compete is a secondary question.
- nilkn 3y agoWhat matters is how much personal work and money Adam put into Poe. It seems like he's been working on it full-time all year and has more or less pivoted to it away from Quora, which also faces an existential threat from OpenAI (and AI in general). Either way, Adam's conflict of interest is significant, and it's staggering he wasn't asked to resign from the board after launching a chatbot-based AI company.
- grogenaut 3y agoDoes openai exist without stack overflow or quora?
- incognition 3y agoYea Poe ain’t small to Adam lol
