Well, if said startups were visionaries, the could've known better the business they're entering. On the other hand - there are plenty of VC-inflated balloons, making lots of noise, that everyone would be happy to see go. If you mean these startups - well, farewell. There's plenty more to innovate, really, saying OpenAI killed startups it's like saying that PHP/Wordpress/NameIt killed small shops doing static HTML. or IBM killing the... typewriter companies. Well, as I said - they could've known better. Competition is not always to blame.
