If I was a developer of any kind, I would never work with Sam Altman and OpenAI. Let me say that. This is a warning. People can clip this. This is a warning for anybody dumb enough to use Sam Altman's OpenAI API. They are studying you. Remember, Sam Altman's been around the block. I've known him since loop. He's an incredibly savvy person, and he wants every bit of revenue from the ecosystem. He isn't taking no prisoners. He's going to study how you're using the API, which he has the right to do. Sam Altman comes from the Zuckerberg school of business, which is give dumb people access to your tools, study them, and like the Borg, steal every innovation they have. Zuckerberg got it from Bill Gates and Microsoft. Microsoft had a platform, an operating system. They let people build Lotus 1, 2, 3. Then they did Microsoft Excel. They let people build a product called WordPerfect and WordStar, and then they built Microsoft Word. They were more than happy to have everybody at their developer conferences showing off their work, giving them awards. I'm talking about Microsoft now. Zuckerberg did the same thing at Facebook with their platform. Oh, Zynga is their big partner. Then they shivered.
