GPT 6 Astra demand overwhelms OpenAI, anti-AI backlash has 'completely failed'

A Reddit post cites OpenAI engineer Thomas Sottiaux saying demand for GPT 6 Astra is so overwhelming that OpenAI can't even serve users willing to pay $200 a month.
The poster's argument: the loud anti-AI backlash has done nothing to stifle demand, with the market proving AI's pull far outweighs the cultural pushback.
