Is it a bubble if it’s useful and I use it dozens of time a day?

Dotcom bubble...was/is the internet not useful?

It doesn’t feel the same since there are a handful of players in the space. I see your point though.

people can have multiple overlapping reasons for things, it doesn't have to be they are on "sam's side" or the "board's side" or whatever. you can agree w/ a firing and for whatever reason disagree w/ the way it was done or future direction of a company, etc. all just guessing anyway.

Makes me wonder whether to keep building upon OpenAI? Given that they have an API and it takes effort to build on that vs. something else. I am small fry but maybe other people are wondering the same? Can they give reassurances about their products going into the future?

I am wondering the same. It’s a PR desaster to their dev community and i’m not even sure if Sutskever isn’t secretly happy about this.

Are those the first cracks in the AI market bubble?

Yes, a bubble is a mismatch between price and value. Saying value > 0 is not disproving a bubble.

I agree AI is useful, but not to that extent to what it is valued on the market. I do not think that AI companies can deliver as much as they promise. With the driving core at OpenAI basically gone, I bet they will soon implode under the weight of their promises. Which means, investors will start pulling out their stakes. boom

What's the use of a newborn baby? AI is as real as the mobile/internet/pc revolution of the past. So many use it obsessively every single day.

It is a bubble if it is overvalued. I don't think it is, but nothing prevents something useful from being a bubble, if the valuation is extreme.
