I have no inside knowledge of OpenAI.

But man it feels like OpenAI is slowly but surely getting into a lot of drama that should otherwise be able to avoid?

Internal fights over Sam, for a while it seemed like a lot of people were leaving, conflicts over their non profit status / fights with folks who gave them money (Microsoft).

Is this name fight worth it?

I haven't kept sources but I think the actual fight is about iyo's product. They seem to have a similar product in the works.

Rugolo tweeted in part yesterday[1]:

"i'm looking forward to competing with you fairly on product; you just can't use our name."

and today[2]:

"we welcome their competition in the market with real products, they just need to do it under a different name."
