Would you say that Google admitted that not enough people will pay for Youtube premium to be a profitable business so they had to get into ads?
It seems plausible to me, since I get so many low quality poorly targeted ads on repeat. I can't imagine those ads are generating much revenue, but it makes sense if their primary purpose is just to beat me into paying for a subscription.

And that's not his only bold claim about AGI.
But why compare these two businesses? They are completely different. From the estimates I've seen, Youtube operating costs are a fraction of what OpenAI is burning yearly.
