## Summary

Ethan Mollick says OpenAI has discontinued many of its products quickly, citing Sora after six months, Agent Builder and Group Chat after eight months each, and Atlas after nine. He argues that most of its own products became obsolete within months, suggesting the company misjudges the pace of change, with Sora possibly an exception.

OpenAI kills a lot of its products

Sora lasted 6 months, Agent Builder 8 months, Group Chat 8 months, Atlas 9 months...

Most of the time (Sora excepted?) their own product became obsolete within months, in case you think they are immune to misjudging the exponential themselves
