Good point. It's probably more accurate to say it is biased to whatever opinions benefit the YC business model (which is understandable. It's their forum, after all).

I think the implication is government putting pressure (or working with) businesses to censor speech. Smaller government would mean less attack surface in that case.

Yes. It’s cool. But, it’s hardly revolutionary. They built a Siri that doesn’t suck.
It has the potential to be a Google killer as it’s much more effective at sussing out specific information. But, the ideological guard rails OpenAI insist upon are super annoying. You can never fully trust that you’re getting a non-politically biased output.
