Seems bad! To me this highlights a failure in the US tech industry. Silicon Valley is theoretically a triumph of entrepreneurship, where the best and best thinking wins. In reality investors picked OpenAI as the winner right out of the gate, gave it more funding than most of us can imagine so that it could dominate the market, sat back and told themselves job done.
Meanwhile in another tech industry a startup had to think lean and innovate its way around resource restrictions. And OpenAI looks like a mess now.

Silicon Valley keeps trying to create monopolies for the purpose of maximal profit extraction to the detriment of American technological development, or they use money and brute force as a substitute for actual innovation and get worse results.
