People crying about the revenue gap constantly forget that OpenAI still hasn't turned on the ads, porn, and gambling. Trust, they will turn it on eventually.
Everything’s for sale, and they will amplify whatever == revenue.
So, they need to "just" get 20% of the market from Google to break even...
it's pretty sobering to think that the so-called harbingers of SkyNet AGI have to fall back to mafia-era revenue streams like vice to convince shareholders that their money wasn't wasted.
I hope the porn and gambling aren't turned on, but they will be. Probably under spin off companies to shield the brand, but using the tech.
two out of three of those require me to want to do them for them to affect my life.

But quite the opposite, HSBC assumed that they will have a virtual global monopoly on AI, and even under those projections they will still need to take on hundreds of billions of debt. I'm sure if they get there getting access to that debt will be easier than I'm assuming currently.
Living in AImaginationland must be nice. C’mon kids, let’s all sing the AImagination song: AImagination, AImagination, AIiiimagination, …
We already have those at home without OpenAI.
Also, the competition would be ruthless.
But yeah, maybe they should give up because of the imaginary obstacles brought up here, lol.

Are these "potential new entrants into the space on the AI front" in the room with us right now?
There's already so much AI porn right now. There's no reason to believe that OpenAI will be any better or able to command higher margins than their competitors. They also have the problem of being under a ton of public and regulatory scrutiny so the highest paying clientele, the people with niche unsavory fetishizes, won't be able to be serviced by them.
And that's ignoring the fact that getting into this space at all is pure HN speculation and unlikely to ever happen anyway.
By selling a dollar for 90 cents. The trick is what to do when the venture capital runs out.
This is truly the most stupid timeline.
Ads & referrals are already in the works, and people are generally tolerant of those. But, as with any company, appearances matter. ChatGPT will definitely lose users at the slightest possibility of having non-sanitized content served to more morally sensible groups.
