Ask HN: If the models are so good, why doesn't OpenAI just start 100 companies?

2026-10-22 @ 21:03:55Points: 78Comments: 81

Couldn't OpenAI or Anthropic make a lot more money by just starting companies themselves that leverage the models and building their own products?

Is selling tokens really the best strategy?

Especially with commodification and prices declining wouldn't that indicate there is more money to be made on the application-side of the models rather than the utility side

Tell HN: I unknowingly broke the PHP RCE embargo. I am sorry.

2026-10-22 @ 10:11:44Points: 488Comments: 198

I am truly sorry. I take full responsibility for my actions.

It was not remotely my intention to cause any of the subsequent side effects.

At the time of posting, I didn't know about any embargo. My contact had told me there was no embargo, and her contact had told her the same thing.

As someone who follows the 4-weekly PHP release cycle and compiles it from source, my intention was to alert others in a similar position to be aware of the importance/urgency of the updates.

That clearly backfired in a pretty wild fashion. I have learned my lesson.

Show HN: Uberblok – an interactive museum of ZFS internals

2026-10-21 @ 13:04:25Points: 107Comments: 28

I'm sure people here know these internals better than I do, so corrections are very welcome.

I built it with my agent swarm organization, Algotitan.

I hope you'll enjoy the deep dive into Uberblok as much as I do.
