> He further added that OpenAI’s some of the best talents are working remotely. He said, "some of our best people are remote, and we will continue to support it always, so please don't let hating SF stop you from applying to OpenAI! I don't like the open air fentanyl markets either.”
The above line seems to contradict the part about '..worst mistake of the tech industry'

I think claiming something is a problem while doing the thing that you say is a problem and in doing so generating the largest and fastest pile of valuation $$$$ in the history of man kind is a problem.
