Adam stands to gain the most from a weakened OpenAPI product. Not from OpenAPI outright stopping commercialization, but stopping it just enough to still have API but not products like GPT store and agents.
It's not about Quora, which is a shit show either way, but it's about his AI chat company, Poe. Poe started customizable AI agents and also started their own store for AI agents - they were the first to do this. And Poe uses OpenAI API for this, they are essentially a wrapper company.
When OpenAI announced custom agents and store on DevDay, it was a fundamental threat to Poe, and a very strong conflict of interest for Adam. You also hear from everyone that things started getting sour after DevDay. I'm pretty sure Adam played his part in the shit show with his own motives.
Makes it sound like they fired the wrong board-member. But it feels to this complete outsider like that board was totally disfunctional, even before the departure of Altman and Brockman.
I'm an LLM sceptic; I don't think these models are a route to intelligence, artifical or otherwise. I think that means I'm at odds with the four board-members that did the deed. But as far as I can see, there wasn't one member of that board, Altman and Brockman included, that was fit to run a whelk-stall, let alone a big company.
