IMHO, if you have that many enterprise clients, you can’t just nuke product support without a press release that explains the rationale. It’s safer to explain the reasoning and as the last few sentences indicated, help them transition to a new IDE that works with your product.

That blog post struck me as something pretty boring. It has the stink of a legal and PR team. What was the pissy / self-indulgent part?

I think anyone running Open AI would make that call.

Anyone in that role would be worried about Musk using end users as a way to acquire model distillation data to feed Grok with GTP.

Musk is a direct competitor, has been feuding with Open AI for years, and he has shown that he’s totally ok with acquiring data in aggressively shady ways.

This looks like this is isolated to KETC’s locally produced shows for Missouri. They appear to be a smaller affiliate and they don’t make a ton of stuff that contributes to national and international broadcasts.

Since they have a smaller audience I imagine it’s going to be harder for KETC to find community-created backups of their stuff.

I also imagine that if Missouri gave more of a shit about public broadcasting, this affiliate would be operating with better funded / more experienced IT staff. These little affiliates really rely on a lot of volunteers and green IT folks who do the work for the experience.

More specifically, this PBS affiliate (Nine PBS St Louis). It wasn’t PBS proper. This only impacted local programming archives. But that’s still a loss for the local community.

PBS likely does much better than this. Heck, a lot of their stuff is backed up in the Library of Congress.
