You could've said the same thing about Google (specifically their AI efforts) 5-10 years ago, and what ended up happening is the majority of their best engineers left for other places like...OpenAI.
- profile53 3y agoAnd you probably could have said the same thing about Google 25 years ago when altavista and yahoo were around. What ended up happening was a complete dominance on web search for Google. The end result is unknown but it does appear they have an advantage right now.
- OnlineGladiator 3y agoGoogle had a revolutionary search technology which they quickly learned how to monetize and it began printing money. OpenAI has competitive technology in a crowded field and they are currently burning through money, likely hundreds of millions every month. They are still a glorified tech demo in search of a profitable product. I agree I don't know what will happen. But apart from PR (and arguably funding) OpenAI really doesn't seem special. I say this as someone who interviewed there and with competitors. And many people in the field have developed a distaste for OpenAI's management over the years to the point it's becoming a problem with recruiting.
