Everyone wants to treat OpenAI like a car wash business where they need to make a profit almost immediately. I don’t know why people can’t understand that the industry is in a rapid growth stage and investing the money is more important than making a profit now. The profits will come later.

- nutjob2 7mo ago> The profits will come later. The nearly $1T hand wave. Forgive me if I ask how. Might give it some credence if Anthropic and Google weren't pulling even with or surpassing them in various way or markets. Whats worse is they mostly seem to have retail market name recognition which is arguably the hardest, or maybe the impossible market to make money from.

That doesn't seem to be the case at all. Meta and Google are two of the most profitable companies in history, off the backs of free users. Apple is another one that focuses almost exclusively on retail and is also one of the most profitable in history.
