For a company that's executing so well (at least from an outside perspective), shipping so fast, growing so fast, and so ahead of the curve in arguably the hottest segment of the tech market, at this moment, to do this right now, means this must be REALLY bad.

Yeah but what could possibly be the scam? OpenAI's product works (most of the time).

Isn't this already generally known to be true (and ironically involving Mechanical Turk-like services)?
