X Replies Debate OpenAI Action on Cursor Access

Florian Brand posted that OpenAI's reported decision to restrict Cursor seemed insane and compared it to Amazon cutting off an app built on EC2. In reply, the account xlr8harder stated that users can still apply a Codex subscription and that the restriction only prevents a direct competitor from reselling access and gathering data on the product. The second poster described the step as ordinary business conduct. Both posts appear in a short exchange on X and contain no independent confirmation of the underlying restriction or any acquisition details. The conversation centers on the two contrasting views of the same reported action.
