I can't wait for the revel that GPT-4 is just a chat application connecting you to a the worlds biggest center in India.

Joking aside, this feels massive. Both that it happened so suddenly and that the announcement doesn't mince words. The fact that the CTO is now CEO makes me think it's probably not a lie about their tech. It wouldn't make sense to say "we've been lying about our capabilities" and then appoint the current CTO as CEO.

This makes me think it's either financial or a scandal around Sam himself.

I can't wait to hear more

Yeah, it would be pretty surprising to find out that India has so many individuals that are profoundly competent at converting arbitrary text into rhymes in Elizabethan English.

I know this comment is just adding on to the joke, but the number of people who can speak / read English in India is very high. There are more English speakers in India than multiple large European countries combined.

I said Elizabethan English, not English. As in Shakespeare. The point is that there are probably at most a few thousand people in the world who could display that level of competence at making Shakespearean rhymes. And I doubt enough of them work in call centers in India to service the entire user base of ChatGPT. Nothing about my comment implies that there are not millions of competent English speakers in India.
