You can wait to release something all over the world which will take time because it’s not an engineering issue but a compliance/legal or other types of issue. Or you can iterate faster by doing the minimum and getting feedback and then releasing it in other markets. Not sure what’s wrong with this approach.
That’s fair, but I was referring to releasing in response to external events. It’s very clear they are trying to one-up each other and create hype, vagueposting etc. I don’t think sama is alone in this but everyone especially from the Thiel school of thought.
Depending on what you’re actually providing, different regions of CSPs might not actually have the features or capacity you need to reliably deliver the feature world wide. That’s probably the exception not the rule, especially for OpenAI.
