I really can't tell for sure (new user posting a ridiculously hypocritical corporate message on a Sunday) but if GP actually works for OpenAI the lack of self-awareness is seriously striking","comments":[{"id":47568200,"user":"singpolyma3","time":1774824119,"time_ago":"5 months ago","type":"comment","content":"
