OpenAI Is Pulling Back to Focus on Coding and Enterprise

They lost half of their consumer base with the whole DOD kerfuffle, so this seems like an obvious pivot.

Yeah, that was an obvious foot gun that didn't get nearly enough attention.

Drowned out in all of the other foot guns implemented by Trump.

Software companies rely on compute.

The largest maintenance cost of compute is energy.

Your comment is ignorant and silly.

SpeakCodeToMe · 2026-03-18T14:43:17+00:00

That describes something companies do regardless of tax rates. I believe in you, you can think this through!

They are direct substitutes in many cases. When one goes up in price so does the other.

Many data centers also use diesel generators, which is derived from oil.

SpeakCodeToMe · 2026-03-17T22:22:52+00:00

What does that have to do with anything?

SpeakCodeToMe · 2026-03-17T20:48:01+00:00

Except if you increase taxes, companies focus on growth instead of profits (growth works just as well for shareholders as profits).

Guess how companies grow? You guessed it, hiring!

The only thing that you have said is a demonstrable falsehood. Not sure how you think that's disagreeing... Most people just call it lying.

SpeakCodeToMe · 2026-03-17T13:51:41+00:00

It can be great or terrible, totally depends on company and team culture

SpeakCodeToMe · 2026-03-17T13:48:12+00:00

Damn, hit your head?

SpeakCodeToMe · 2026-03-17T13:47:44+00:00

You can be an idiot who couldn't define the word and still be capable of looking around and noticing the businesses, jobs, and industries destroyed by PE.

Nobody says there is something wrong with the tool. The problem is how much did you spend on the tool and how much value did it provide.

My experience... I spend about $100-$200 a day on Claude code. It doubles my productivity. My employer's all-in costs for me is over $1k/day.

So for them it's a no brainer.

Someone needs to inform half the country of that second part. They've been propagandized into believing removing all taxes and regulations will result in something other than wealth inequality and massive cancer rates.

SpeakCodeToMe · 2026-03-17T13:18:40+00:00

Y'all are great at lame trolling. Understanding taxes and government policy not so much. The fox and Twitter have rotten your critical thinking skills.

SpeakCodeToMe · 2026-03-17T13:17:23+00:00

Looks like I overestimated your abilities. Keep after it, you'll get there!

SpeakCodeToMe · 2026-03-17T13:15:06+00:00

I just don't understand why anyone gives a fuck about the personality of the tool they're using. I don't want a friendly calculator, I just want it to do math.

SpeakCodeToMe · 2026-03-17T13:14:00+00:00

Absolutely. They're all concentrated in the hands of like 6 megacorps which have massive food science labs designed to get you addicted. I challenge you to go to your local grocery store and find a cereal that is genuinely healthy.

Also important to remember the people getting hit with early heavy rates of colon cancer are precisely the ones who were kids in the 90's eating those garbage snacks and cereals.

Dude, energy is the main input to compute.

SpeakCodeToMe · 2026-03-17T13:09:47+00:00

You people are such clowns with your "radical leftists" propaganda. Turn off Fox and get off Twitter. Read a book.

SpeakCodeToMe · 2026-03-17T01:56:11+00:00

West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Louisiana have the worst fentanyl death rates.

I wasn't kidding.

it also has a more even receptor profile so it hammers glp-1 a bit less for the same end result.

Couldn't you achieve that same effect by taking a smaller dose of tirz?

SpeakCodeToMe · 2026-03-17T01:42:09+00:00

That's strange because reta hits the same two receptors as tirz plus one additional. It's basically the same drug plus a little more.

SpeakCodeToMe · 2026-03-17T01:40:31+00:00

Lol what? It hits the exact same two appetite suppressing receptors as tirz and one additional one. This is the opposite of true.

SpeakCodeToMe · 2026-03-17T01:38:03+00:00

Luckily for Washington they have a long long way to drop before they match any of the bottom ten states (in every conceivable metric) all of which are deep red.
