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.

Will Microsoft fully buy them out?

Yup. They own basically everything anyway, they take the tech, poach the people, lay off 80% of them, and then continue selling copilot in Office 2137 Pro Enterprise Whatever until the end of time

Assuming the company will last 5 years is awfully optimistic.

Aren't they spending like....$2-3 for every dollar made?

It seems Elon is swaying judges these days and has it out for OpenAI. I wonder if Microsoft might use that as an excuse to do something about their relationship.

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.
