OpenAI pushing ads seems like a big fat blinking SELL warning to me.

They claim they are close to creating a Machine God that threatens all human life... but this is the best business plan it can come up with?

Maybe your omnipotent machine could come up with that cure for cancer you keep saying it will, and then you sell that? Or design an innovative new battery? Or, hell, let's be more realistic: Why can't it make really fun iOS games that you can sell? Or generate Marvel quality blockbusters, that should bring in at least a few billion.
