No, they are saying it is frustrating to see the focus on OpenAI rather than, for example, Cisco and Oracle, in an article with this particular title. On the topic of “supercomputers for autocrats”, a reader may be interested in what Oracle is up to.

It is odd to focus such a broad topic on OpenAI.
- salawat 1y agoWe can focus on more than a single thing at a time. I'm also more worried about Palantir and such as well.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 1y ago> We can focus on more than a single thing at a time. This is not the point. You are correct that we can focus on more than one thing at a time and that’s why different articles are about different things. This article is about “Building supercomputers for autocrats” and it is odd that it focuses on a single aspect of that topic.
- 93po 1y agoThe problem is that we don't. We see the same thing in politics - we focus so much on "us vs them" and while the "them" is uniquely damaging, we lose sight of the fact that there is a lot of overlap in how they're both really damaging. Corporate news media hyperfocuses on the clickbait, rage-inducing, enagement-farming stories. And passes over companies like Oracle because they spend a ton on advertising (i.e. they kiss the ring)
- jimbokun 1y agoWriting an article criticizing OpenAI is not an exoneration of Cisco and Oracle.
