OpenAI is going to start competing with a ton of SAAS companies. I think we are going to see products 10x better than legacy saas products, many companies wont be able to compete.

> competing with a ton of SAAS companies

A a ton of companies will compete with OpenAI while their focus is divided amongst a 100 things. May a thousand flowers bloom!

So there will be at least two separate technical organizations within OAI. Pretty small company (HC and product surface wise) for that. Is Brockman now CTO over research specifically or is there going to be a weird dotted line?

Data/ML and Apps split seems pretty normal to me, even in a company of ~20. What makes a group of coworkers into "an org"? That they don't attend one-another's retros?

Hats off to Statsig. They built a stellar product. Superior to many of their industry competitors like Optimizely. Back when I was on an internal Experimentation platform, we were impressed how they balanced dev velocity & stat rigor https://www.statsig.com/updates These guys ship. Business-wise, I think getting acquired was the right choice. Experimentation is too small & treacherous to build a great business, and t…

The CTO of applications reporting to CEO of applications (who reports to the actual CEO) is kinda weird? I figure you're either the actual CTO or you're not a C-level exec and should have another title. Just more title inflation I guess. Maybe in same way you see VPs of X everywhere in some organizations we'll be starting to see CEO/CTO of X lower and lower down the org chart.

Sounds to me like another phase in the growth of the "Unaccountability Machine"

Oh the CTO approved it so we should blame them. No not that CTO the other CTO. Oh so who decided on the final out come. The CTO! So who is on first again?

This seems like a big shift for OpenAI into an enterprise applications vendor to me.

What else could they have been? Microsoft didn't give them $10bn to build out their B2C homework autocomplete service.

A skunkworks shop that aims at 100x returns by producing cutting-edge AI tech, not another B2B BigTech company. Isn't that the very image they cultivated in the media?

How do you monetize cutting edge ai tech? Sell it. Who has money? Businesses.
