I prefer Webvan-esque. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webvan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webvan: > The company's investors pressured it to grow very fast to obtain first-mover advantage. This rapid growth was cited as one of the reasons for the downfall of the company. IMO, selling at a loss to gain market share only makes sense if there are network effects that lead to a winner-takes-all situation. Of which there are some for ChatGPT (training data when people press the thumbs up/down buttons), but is that sufficient?

Also useful for bootstrapping a dev ecosystem. If engineers are getting into AI development through OpenAI, they're using tools and systems within the OpenAI ecosystem. Daily on HN there's a post on some AI implementation faster than chatgpt. But my starting point is OpenAI. If you can capture the devs, especially at this stage, you get a force multiplier.
