    They have multiple plausible paths to profitability. To claims there’s none is just stupid. If they succeed or not is another question. But it’s absolutely plausible.

    The product and profitability towards the average citizen of the world, is such a microscopic part of their goals. People using their product is nothing more than data to feed their model. When they’re done. Their profits are not going to come from people. It’s going to come from the US government and companies. The investments being poured into OpenAI isn’t just disappearing into a black hole, lots of it remains in the hardware and digital infrastructure required for the project.

    Even if their public worth drops to 0. They will still keep being funded. Because the research is too important to let go of.
