    They asked chatGPT for a business plan and it gave them hallucinations and half a business plan for a non-profit coalmining organization.

      That or they have worked out that even if AGI is achievable with the current architecture the existence of R1 and other Chinese models essentially means they will never make a profit at it.

      If they achieve their goal, within 48 hours the open source community will have replicated it.

        The structure of OpenAI is quite strange and curious.

          Metroid layout.

          GPT is the boss located left, the final boss is called Profit, and it’s at the bottom…

          Probably an emergent structure out of a chain of thought

    Well yeah. DeepSeek destroyed any illusion that they could establish and maintain a monopoly on AI.

    Wasn’t a major tranche of Softbank’s funding contingent on their being able to do this? They might be broke a lot sooner than people thought without it…
