I'm reminded of Satya's glee in 2003, at having rolled out this AI integration across-the-board, before Google (which then scrambled to get in the game):

"And I want people to know that we made them dance, and I think that'll be a great day"

Hmmm, the "moonwalk" is a dance too...

Is this the "beginning of the end" for OpenAI?

That and if Nvidia backs out of their $100B promise it may not be the death knell but it would certainly by a step backward for OpenAI.

Yes the product's secret sauce is out and it's becomming a commodity.

But OpenAI is still innovating with new subcategories, and even in cases where it did not innovate (Claude Code came first and OpenAI responded with Codex), it outdoes its competitors. Codex is being widely preferred by the most popular vibecode devs, notably Moltbook's dev, but also Jess Fraz.

In terms of pricing, OAI holds by far the most expensive product so it's still positioned as a quality option, to give an example, most providers have a 3 tier price for API calls.

Anthropic has 1$/3$/5$ (per output MTokens) Gemini has 3$/12$ (2tier) OpenAI has 2$/14$/168$

So the competitors are mainly competing in price in the API category

To give another datapoint, Google just released multimodal (image input) models like 1 or 2 months ago. This has been in ChatGPT for almost a year now

Thank you so much for sharing that!

The fact that we didn't jail/banish him after leading an insurrection against the US Capitol was the "too far gone" moment.

Anything after that, is just Yet Another millimeter along the same trajectory:

Well, if we let him get away with J6, then I don't see how this is too much worse.

To tie this to your point, I honestly don't see why the Greenland letter should suddenly be the straw that shatters this particular dromedary's spine.

Why the fuck is this flagged?

I have always supported Adafruit -- Limor's principles shine through in the products, the website, the tutorials, and in the long-term track record of standing by their products. Even when I can source things from AliExpress, I often get them from Adafruit.

Speaking for myself, SparkFun has lost me as a customer.
