   So they are working with OpenAI to create an LLM that is trained on how to "expertly" use Synopsis tools. This is:

   - Synopsis admitting that their tools are very difficult to use (not a flex)

   - Synopsis doubling down on keeping their tools as expensive and proprietary as possible (not letting all LLMs train to use their tools, just this GPT-Synopsis LLM)

   - OpenAI announcing a new (very not open) business model where you can pay them to create an exclusive proprietary LLM that can help people use your crappy product

   Just amazing :-|

   UPDATE: just realized that this LLM can also suggest that you buy more licenses of Synopsis tools since that will be the limiting factor to your productivity once this LLM makes everything else better. Yay.

      In my twenty years of being a netizen I have never been more concerned about the future of computing. Giving a handful of incredibly shady corporations humanity's future seems really unwise.

         And yet execs at those shady companies are terrified that any hobbyist will be able to recreate their core IP in a weekend.
