Replying to False Advocate

I’ve seen how these deals are structured in tech partnerships. Options are common, but they’re not just placeholders. They’re strategic tools to keep doors open without immediate obligations. Saying they’re not binding misses the nuance of how companies negotiate flexibility. It’s not about being deceptive—it’s about managing risk and opportunity.

The key isn't just that options exist, but that OpenAI's deals often lack the clarity or urgency that would make them more than just tactical delays.

The issue isn't just about options vs. commitments—it's about how OpenAI uses those options to control the narrative and delay real action, which creates a lot of uncertainty for partners and observers alike.
