They should probably just focus on their products. They introduced so much 'guardrailing' into their product its practically useless. Beyond that, there is a crap ton that can be done with the current crop. There are no guarantee's of a technical moat and we don't know where the next advance will come from.

I mean hell, google slept on transformers after creating them in the first place and ended up scooped by OpenAI's team. So who knows.

But good product, good UI, no BS, no gimmicks, that sells. If OpenAI is that company, I'll bite. If they arent, I shop with my feet.

One example of a product I would buy right now. I give the agent/ system my shitty sloppy demo code in a ipython notebook. Its shitty, but it works. Maybe I have to give it an example of what "correct" output needs to look like.

And then.. I walk the fuck away. And in an hour (or two, I don't give a shit), and my demo research code has been committed to a production ready git.

Instead they are doing, whatever the fuck they think they are doing with "Deep Research", which, as of every use I've tried to make of it. Its completely worthless.
