OpenAI is a hollow investment. I could be wrong but from my understanding, they've received a ton of investment money to get where they are but haven't been able to bring in any returns back to the investors. This puts them on the brink of collapse.
Applies to all AI companies, which is why we're about to see prices ratchet the fuck up over the coming post-IPO months as they have to show steps towards profitability.
A few price pump cycles and we'll find ourselves reinventing entry level positions to save token costs.
Have you ever seen a manager who managed to lose billions of dollars to actually face any backlash? Usually they get more money and move on.
