I have lived through Amazon’s rags to riches and there was never a clear plan to profitability. Vast majority of people were questioning sanity of anyone investing in Amazon.
I am not saying OpenAI is Amazon but am saying I have seen this before where masses are going “oh business is bad, losses are huge, where is path to profitability…”
Your recollection is hazy. Bezos chose not to be profitable in order to grow the company, and reap greater rewards in the future. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/wjLs22dNOCE
