- simonw 8mo agoI'd love to know why their lawyers appear to hate apostrophes so much. The most recent one is: > OpenAIs mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. Many of the older ones skipped some but not all of the apostrophes too.

This "zomg no apostrophe" just comes off as cringe.
