The article doesn’t even try to make the case for the headline or lead, what a bizarre piece. The OpenAI drama is the biggest case for Twitter supremacy in months.

> The OpenAI drama is the biggest case for Twitter supremacy in months. How so? Any meaningful post from the openai (or whoever) twitter account were immediately posted to threads. A lot of tech press were posting directly to threads instead of twitter, for example kara swisher.

  Kara Swisher was also posting to Twitter, but more to the point, all of the major players and commentators were on Twitter. Greg Brockman's resignation letter was on Twitter. The employees who protested Sam's firing were on Twitter. The (second) interim CEO posted his hiring and resignation on Twitter. Etc.

    On top of that Ilya, Sam, Mira, PG, Elon, even fcking Shkreli was doing his trolling on Twitter. Nothing notable happened on Threads.

    I can't see any post on her twitter https://twitter.com/karaswisher https://twitter.com/karaswisher, is this a fake swisher account? I had no problem seeing her post on threads through this entire ordeal.

        Twitter no longer shows current posts to anyone that isn't logged in.

        that is certainly worse than threads

  Literally everything was happening on Twitter. From spaces to “OpenAI is nothing without its people” to heart emojis. Sam and Greg posted their statement there. This is a huge win for Twitter.

It's the incumbent, what do you expect? Monetizing that on the other hand...

  Yeah, it’s never monetized well and I doubt it ever will. Just interesting to see that the converse of monetizing well doesn’t mean that you can get over the hump of relevance in this case.
