I remember someone commenting after my play about elephants that she thought I might be laying on the sweet a bit much, but then in the middle of the show is projected a short video of actual elephants. She said then she realised that I had held back, because actually they are extremely sweet!

"On a philosophical level, OpenAI's health is what keeps this industry alive. OpenAI has the only meaningful userbase in generative AI, and this entire hype-cycle has been driven by its success, meaning any deterioration (or collapse) of OpenAI will tell the market what I've been saying for over a year: that generative AI is not the next hyper-growth market, and its underlying economics do not make sense."

good thought though - sometimes the simplest solution is the best
