OpenAI devrel star Tibo's reach collapses to a fifth as even colleagues tire of the constant hyping

Observers note OpenAI's devrel figure Tibo has "fallen off": his posts get roughly a fifth of their usual views, people find him corny, and even OpenAI employees are fed up with his constant hyping and repeated fumbles.
teortaxesTex argues this is the structural fate of the devrel mascot role: figures like Tibo, Logan, and Boar deliver the goodies, act as lightning rods, and eventually become sacrificial offerings for the company—they know the terms, and you get this job once in your life, if it lasts.
