What is it with OpenAI acquisitions reaming their user bases on short notice?
Is OpenAI already locked in such a dominant position that they don't have to pretend to care what anyone in industry thinks about them?
Everyone savvy knows that Microsoft and Oracle don't care, and are just waiting until they can stab you again. Even Google, who routinely pulls the rug out from under its customers, is gentler about it. Even the usual serial-founder brogrammer startups often have a semi-reasonable migration.
Sustaining engineering for legacy customers doesn't have to be expensive, and you can think of it as an obligation to pay back for your success, and maybe a foot in the door for sales.
- supriyo-biswas 2y agoI'd assume that OpenAI is simply doing Microsoft's bidding, and is a way for them to indirectly acquire companies with very little to no scrutiny. Continuation of the existing product isn't usually of concern in these cases, and appears to be very common practice even for companies that are otherwise well known for almost never deprecating their products (e.g. various AWS acquisitions.)
- mostlysimilar 2y agoThe era where tech companies had to pretend to care about the users is long gone. The name of the game is cut to the bone.
