I wish these "acquired by" announcements started with an explanation of what the startup was in the first place.

I had never heard of them before and have no clue what they do or why OpenAI wanted to buy them.

Why not just visit the company's website? It would take less effort than writing this comment. Why is HN a hyperbolic bikeshedding chamber where everyone is trying to outnitpick each other?

Isn't that literally what's in the first paragraph of the announcement?

As someone with a cat who used to be named "Vito", but eventually ended up as "Pierre", I'm going to assume "Pierre Computer" somehow makes your AI act more French. :P
