OpenAI, Musk and Focus

OpenAI has decided the “ everything everywhere all at once ” strategy isn’t ideal, after all. As we and others reported on Monday night, senior OpenAI executive Fidji Simo told staffers last week that the company needed to “refocus on business customers and cut down on side quests that were becoming a distraction.” (Is that the understatement of the year?) That refocusing has already begun. A couple of weeks ago, we broke news that OpenAI had retreated from its plans to offer shopping directly in the ChatGPT app.
