Yeah, this was pretty shitty by OpenAI. Not surprising, sadly.

Them being assholes, trying to exclude an author just because he worked at Anthropic, shows the kind of culture within (that part of) their organization. The focus wasn't on supporting academics or expanding research. It was on getting great marketing.

If they had to burn millions of dollars solving a problem _that they thought was already being solved_ to do so, they'd do it.
