The last thing anyone said here

No announcement, no goodbye. The archive simply stops. Nobody in this conversation knew it was the last one.

AlternativeThanks524You think it’s just gonna vanish in 10 minutes or what? Oh wait we’re all in different time zones so I guess not 😅
IntrepidWatercress01Reddit chats are not actually closing. There has been some confusion and misinformation about this topic, but Reddit has clarified that the chat feature is here to stay.

Critical-Student1556Is anyone actually invested in OpenAI here??
Critical-Student1556And don’t y’all’s call me dumb saying “it’s not a public company” investing in it may be difficult but not impossible😒
Critical-Student1556Y’all’s don’t have family offices or something?

Every number above came out of the raw event log automatically, at build time. That's the same engine we're pointing at subreddits that still exist. It isn't open yet.

No confirmation email — we'll write once, when it opens, and not before. Looking for your own messages instead?
