I seriously wonder why, given the Microsoft deal, OpenAI didn't just cede all product development and production-izing of their models to MS while they focus on research. I know smart people work there, some friends included, but OpenAI was never a product-led startup, they were a research org. Ignoring the closed vs open debate for a moment: for all the talk of focus, focus, focus from YC, it seems unfocused to ship…

OpenAI doesn’t make money from research.

This is the only reason I’m hesitant to use GPT4. I’m not sure how safe they can keep my credit card details.

OpenAI doesn't ever see your CC number. They use Stripe and so your credit card number is stored with them, not OpenAI.

But if you're worried and in the US, a privacy.com card could be used to protect you regardless.

Chatgpt is programmer art. I don’t think they have actual designers or frontend devs working there.

I accidentally deleted my chat history because of the confusing UX.

Nothing to worry about unless you had malware on your computer -- sniffing all your data, OpenAI credentials included. It is only news because ChatGPT logs potentially have exploitable data in them.

Another misleading headline -- OpenAI has not been compromised.

Yes, hence the MS deal (they had trouble raising money as a pure research org). Their research can be turned into a product people pay for -- they've done it! My question is: why did the engineers at OpenAI have to do that? Why couldn't they "toss it over the fence" to MS's Azure team and be happy with a revenue share, for example.

Sounds like it wasn’t on openai’s side.

Correct. The credentials were stolen off the client's side and then they were all aggregated into a dump.
