I DYOR-ed them a few months ago as they wanted to sponsor our event. All the ethereum ogs i spoke to said not to touch it. I also read to this MIT article and surprised how many people didn’t know about it and it started to make sense. It’s really really f-ing scarey when the same guy who founded WC (sam altman) is running “Open”AI… I know that they’re now going to have serious SV money and power behind them, and I know it’s going to be hard to avoid, but if you look closely into the DNA of this company, it’s a classic data/power/money grab… i may be wrong and I can be convinced otherwise, but, I would think very carefully about this - I mean, blind idealism aside, isn’t the whole point of the web3 experiment to avoid the business practices of the past? Would be interested to see an update to this article, especially in the context of Chatgpt boom…
