- patrickhogan1 2y agoPlease read the academic paper by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, available at this link: https://blogs.cornell.edu/info2040/2019/10/28/the-academic-paper-that-started-google/ https://blogs.cornell.edu/info2040/2019/10/28/the-academic-p... You might find their perspective on advertising surprising. Returning to my earlier point, please expand your argument about why OpenAI may fail. Let’s aim to elevate the discussion.
