I read "no file size restrictions" and assume I can create a file as large as the storage space I can afford. What else would I assume? If there's a 1TB limit I would expect that to be described as "create files up to

Why would Sam Altman be incentivised to compete with OpenAI? I don't understand what you're trying to say. But in the end your conclusion is the exact opposite of what he said, and I don't see what justifies that interpretati
