It’s time to take a breath, step back, and wait until someone from OpenAI says something substantial.
This is the point where I've realized I just have to wait until history is written, rather than trying to follow this in real time.
The situation is too convoluted, and too many people are playing the media to try to advance their version of the narrative.
When there is enough distance from the situation for a proper historical retrospective to be written, I look forward to getting a better view of what actually happened.
