alt Hacker NewsI wish these "acquired by" announcements started with an explanation of what the startup was in the first place.
I had never heard of them before and have no clue what they do or why OpenAI wanted to buy them.

Isn't that literally what's in the first paragraph of the announcement?
One of the primary reasons HTML supports links is to avoid always having to repeat information that's already available elsewhere.
The first sentence of this submission includes a link to the company's homepage, which states what the company does and what its products are. There's no need for every announcement to be entirely self-contained when the relevant information is just a click away.
As someone with a cat who used to be named "Vito", but eventually ended up as "Pierre", I'm going to assume "Pierre Computer" somehow makes your AI act more French. :P
OpenAI lacks process knowledge and technical experience, so they acquire it. They are so lacking that acquiring almost any established tech company needs no justification.
or how much they got bought for...
Why not just visit the company's website? It would take less effort than writing this comment. Why is HN a hyperbolic bikeshedding chamber where everyone is trying to outnitpick each other?
