This article is actually WILDLY too optimistic about the potential capabilities of LLM’s. This is a Jonestown level KoolAide fan expressing doubt about OpenAI’s financial viability.

He argued that OpenAI’s competitors, industry stalwarts like Google, Microsoft, and Meta, could use the money they earned from their legacy businesses to pour hundreds of billions into developing and scaling their AI models — while OpenAI doesn’t have that luxury.
Mallaby is no AI hater. He’s extremely bullish on AI overall, arguing that “businesses usually take decades to deploy new technologies successfully,” whereas the AI industry has made “striking” progress in just three years.
In other words, Mallaby isn’t betting against a growing AI bubble — he’s singling out his predicted winners and losers of the ongoing AI race. And despite becoming a household name after the launch of ChatGPT just over three years ago, he expects OpenAI to become a footnote in AI history less than two years from now.

They will go public before they declare bankruptcy

What a hit piece 😂.
Literally every tech startup is always 18 months from running out of cash. Successful CEOs talk about almost running out of cash all the time.
Startups raise rounds with the target to cover expenses for 18 months as a standard.

The sooner the better as all it has done is punish ‚would be consumers‘ just so AI can spew out ***the poorest and lowest quality products*** that they want to shove down peoples throats and force on everybody ‚at every bloody opportunity‘. It is the worst ‚con job‘ in history as they are trying to force people to accept such sub-standard mediocrity and pretend it has value.
In it’s current form under the current leadership it is like CyberTruck on steroids that is way over hyped and significantly underperforming against any and all meaningful benchmarks, metrics and baselines. It really has ***zero value*** in the vast majority of use cases unless your wanting to sexualise minors, making CP and or make deepfake revenge porn.

Oh hey here’s the investor exit strategy.
“After running out of cash, the researcher suggested that OpenAI could be “absorbed by Microsoft, Amazon or another cash-rich behemoth.””

I have the free tier and some features like attachments have absolutely gone down in usability. They only give like 2 attachments in a 24 hour period seemingly.

Wait you mean the CEO is lying?!

The tech industry is mature enough at this stage that anybody whose exit plan doesn’t involve selling out to META or GOOG is not gonna survive. The incumbents have more than enough free cash flow to outlast any startup that doesn’t generate positive operating cash flow.

OpenAI is just going to become apart of Microsoft.
OpenAI need Microsoft’s cash flow and data centers, and Microsoft needs OpenAI cuz CoPilot is trash.
Match made in heaven

they never had any money in the first place.

Holy shit I had no idea how much hate there was against this company/product/dude. I use chat daily and it’s frustrating and dumb at times but isn’t that just about all AI shit? Only thing I know about Altmann is him trashing Elon which I’m all aboard lol

my prediction and the prediction of others is that microslop will buy them in the next 6 to 8 months they have no money and no revenue coming in to make back their investors investments, meanwhile gemini just exists and google doesn’t need it to make money since they have other revenue sources , a lot of these ai companies are gonna be in the find out stage soon.
ai is a freaking cool and useful tool and I wish these ceos would quit laying people off and blaming ai even tho they don’t even do any ai shit its ridiculous it makes people not even wanna use the damn tech.
but yeah well see how this all ends up, I don’t see it being the end of the world lets be realistic our economy in the USA is ass right now and that’s the source of the lack of jobs and layoffs not ai. im optimistic tho lets see what happens
SpezLuvsNazis on
Back in 2022 a memo from Google leaked that said we don’t have a moat and neither does OpenAI. Thats even more true now than it was then. There is nothing special about ChatGPT compared to competitors anymore, competitors that have much deeper pockets than OpenAI. Altman, who doesn’t actually have a background in any of this, vastly overestimated his lead when he decided to hype the shit out of this. Maybe if he had been smart about this he could have converted OpenAI into a for profit before hyping the shit out of it, he could have IPOd and made a ton of money and left others holding the bag, as is his MO. Instead he had to waste time doing corporate restructuring while everyone else caught up.
There are a lot of opinions on the fate of the technology writ large but I’m certain OpenAI is a bad investment regardless of how it turns out.

Let it implode. Let it send shock and shockwaves through the stock market. Let the panic ensue and the bubble finally burst. Then the world can begin to heal and people start to get employed again instead of these useless robots.
jamesdownwell on
The same thing was said every few months about Twitter in its first few years of popularity. Is how startups work, OpenAI isn’t going bust. There will _always_ be more money.
Sleepybystander on
If they fail, the economy goes bust. If they succeed, the employment goes bust.
Which one to support? 🤔
Just by the virtue of receiving billions per „cry-for-help“ cycle, the industry already has created tons of billionaires. Aren’t they high and pompous giving lecture all around the world on how to succeed in life? I’m sure they can be successful even with the „running out of money“ constraints normal people have right?

In the past 3 months, I’ve noticed chatGPT is getting worse while Gemini and Claude just seem in a different league compared to it. Let it crumble.

So I ask the most convoluted in depth questions using as many prompts as using 200 sources and chronological with the most stupid questions I can think of to waste there money
