I think the "burning the boats" action is releasing very low API pricing. Once consumers see the lower price they would balk if it was raised back up enough to provide some margin on inference. So the article is saying OpenAI won&

This looks like a technical decision on where to focus investment. Using words like "bias" and "descrimination" imply there is some wrongdoing. From a quick read (maybe I'm missing something) this seems to me to be

Also, I felt this implies the proper-historically-correct-techniques are much better than the wrong-modern-impression-techniques, and would win in combat. Makes sense, but it would be cool evidence to see simulated combat to test this.
