alt Hacker NewsI haven't said the same thing as the parent commenter:
> So, is this OpenAI announcing they're strapped for cash?
It by no means conveys that. It means they haven't figured out another way to monetize something they want to do; it indicates nothing about their financial situation. It means they don't want to sell something at a loss perpetually while they figure it out.
Being forced into something you don't want to do, to stop selling at a loss... I would categorize that as some level of strapped for cash.
