Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

I really wonder what the state of OpenAI will be in five years. They really don't have a proper business model (or at the very least a functional one), and it doesn't seem like they will have one. Will Microsoft fully buy them out? It seems like the only way to make "AI" profitable is to make it a selling point on products that would have otherwise already had large profit margins.
Assuming the company will last 5 years is awfully optimistic.
Aren't they spending like....$2-3 for every dollar made?
Ed Zitron's figure is $2.35.
But they make up for it in volume!
Wow, this is like the 12 inch single of Blue Monday that supposedly cost more to manufacture than they made on sales. But shit.
