This is called marketing.

Because you have evidence, it smells.

And if later your ask your wife "where is the pie" and she says "I sprayed pie scent in the air, I was just singling" how are you going to feel?

Open AI spent its "fool us once" card already. Doing things this way does not earn back trust, failure to deliver (and they have done that more than once) ... See staff non disparagement, see the math fiasco, see open weights.

> This is called marketing.

Many signals are marketing, but the purpose of signals is not purely to develop markets. We all have to determine what we think will happen next and how others will act.

> Because you have evidence, it smells.

I think you read that differently than what I intended to write -- she claims it smells good.
