- mrweasel 11mo agoUber is also more or less a monopoly in many place. They took over the taxi industry and now drivers make less money than before. OpenAI has multiple competitors, who all build their LLMs for less money.

- aurareturn 11mo agoYes but AI is a far bigger market and more profitable* than taxis. *If AI is just SaaS/online ads in a different form.
