OpenAI is not profitable and we don't know if it ever will be.
- stavros 1y agoHave we shifted the goalposts from "something people will pay for" to "needs to be profitable even with massive R&D" then?
- otabdeveloper4 1y agoOpenAI is not "something people will pay for" at the moment though.
- stavros 1y agoExcept lots of people are paying for it. I'll refer you to the other post on the front page for the calculation that OpenAI would have to get just an extra $10/yr from their users to break even.
- otabdeveloper4 1y agoYour response reminds me of that joke about selling a dollar bill for ninety cents.
- stavros 1y agoYour response makes me think we have different definitions for profitability.
- dbdoskey 1y agoOpenAI is not profitable because it is spending resources into moving forward and training new models and creating new tools.
