These are much worse. You can generally fire consultants. These people are from OpenAI. Good luck ever cancelling or reducing your OpenAI contracts when they have people inside your organization. Have fun trying to even discuss it as these people will no doubt insert themselves into every meeting and watercooler discussion involving the contracts they are are paid to protect.

No thats different. Consultant you pay to come to your company. Forward Deployed Engineers are payed by the other company to push you spending money at their company.
Surely the various contracts are pricing in the salary for the FDE, as a feature. "Not only are we giving you terrible software that is impossible for outsiders to learn and operate, but we are also installing a double-agent in your organization who will ensure you don't migrate elsewhere. Pay up unless you want to lose out on the AIs."

#15Nothing says easy to use revolutionary new way to work like requiring implementation middlemen. Salesforce would be proud.
An indictment of the technology and the modern corporation. We're supposed to believe this technology is all-powerful and these corporations are efficient and innovative, by the way.

Which is why I found the Claude Super Bowl ads really weird.
They seemed like an indictment of the technology as a whole. The LLM character proxies all spoke with the LLM-cadence and phrasing. Because we all know it. LLM writing is very uncanny valley. And they didn't even try to deny this. It made LLMs itself look like a joke.

There might be other motivations but at least thats how the term differenciates.
For OpenAI having more companies using OpenAI and buying tokens etc. helps them and they do have a typical issue: they can move as fast as they want, if no one else is moving with them...

Doesn't ASML have Engineers who work with TSMC to make sure their complex machines works optimally within their manufacturing facility? How is this any different?
