This is a sign of OpenAI's weakness.

Altman is desperately trying to use OpenAI's inflated valuation to buy some kind of advantage. Which is why he's buying ads, paying $6.5 billion in stock to Jony Ive, and $3 billion for a VSCode fork created in a few months.

Almost anything makes sense when you see your valuation going to zero unless you can figure something out.
