Louisiana has a long history of political corruption, and the petrochemical industry is a major part of their economy.
LA has the resource curse.

How can one use this for logging? Won't the LLM performance lag grind your application to a halt?
about 18 months ago, our non-Google / Bing bot traffic went from single digits per cent to over 99.9% bot traffic. We tried some home-spun solutions at first, but eventually threw in the towel and put Cloudflare in front of all our publicly accessible pages. On a long term basis, this was probably the right move for us, but we felt forced into this. And the Cloudflare Managed Ruleset definitely blocks some legit traffic such that it requires a fair amount of manual tuning.

What’s the obvious rationale for going through the whole alphabet of funding rounds, instead of going public / IPO after «the usual» number of raising money.
Wouldn’t the current strategy result in some serious stock dilution for the early investors?
An order of magnitude less scrutiny, but also an order of magnitude in size of investor base. The private markets trade at Palantir levels so why go public. Also the private markets are now routinely doing secondary transactions so even less reason to go public.

Here's how Innovators Dilemma plays out.
Step 1: Some upstarts create a new way of doing something. It’s clunky and unrefined.
Step 2: "Experts" and senior folks in the field dismiss it as a "toy." It doesn't follow their established rules or best practices and seems amateurish. They wouldn't recommend it to anyone serious.
Step 3: The "toy" gets adopted by a small group of outsiders or newcomers who aren't burdened by the "right way" of doing things. They play with it, improve it, and find new applications for it.
Step 4: The "toy" becomes so effective and widespread that it becomes the new standard. The original experts are left looking out of touch, their deep knowledge now irrelevant to the new way of doing things.
We're at step 2, bordering on 3.
* Executives at Nokia and BlackBerry saw the first iPhone, with its lack of a physical keyboard, as an impractical toy for media consumption, not a serious work device.
* Professional photographers viewed the first low-resolution digital cameras as flimsy gadgets, only for them to completely decimate the film industry.
> toy for media consumption, not a serious work device.
But this is still largely true.
I get that this is as-is, but I wonder if so many ultra-alpha products don't dilute the OpenAI brand and create redundancy in the product line. It feels like the opposite of Apple's well thought out planned product design and product line.
Let's see if it pays out.
They're selling shares at a $500B valuation. The market is telling them everything they are doing is amazing.
