I wonder why they launched it today, when it was supposed to be a week-off for all OAI employees and amidst whatever else is going on?

One possibility is to capture Thanksgiving gatherings as a growth hack where people demo this to their families/friends and increase app downloads for OAI.

Another possibility is that people who build products don’t actually care about leadership drama as much as Twitter or HN

Almost all of the OpenAI team signed a letter saying they would resign if the board is not replaced, so safe to say that they do care about the leadership drama; perhaps more than the rest of us.

My theory is that it was nearing ready for release so they pushed it out to deflect some of the bad press over recent drama. I'd suspect the challenge with releasing something like this is about 2% "the code" and 98% scaling it out to everyone and making that not explode.
