    It’s weird though because they could just cut the whole metaverse and it would matter exponentially more for profits and Wall Street. Maybe that is what this layoff is but I doubt …

    Why go into coding agents? Both anthropic and OpenAI are going all in on that. The opportunity is customer facing AI now. OpenAI has the mindshare but they going to have to decide …
