> everything that openAI does is laser focused on valuation valuation valuation

idk it seems like a company filled with product and engineering where people are thinking of cool product ideas and shipping them. They don’t have to all hit, but it doesn’t seem bad to try them.



All these “product ideas” are an irrelevant waste of time if they actually develop AGI.

To me it comes across as them hedging their bets that the snake oil Sam Altman has been selling might not actually pan out.


the company charter is not product and engineering it's "we are going to invent THE machine, the singular fulcrum upon which the infinite lever of history, the transcendent union of man and machine, the birth of a new GOD, rests."

I mean, ok, you're product and engineering, fine. You get $20/mo out of your million or so paying users and $200/mo from a small handful of freaks. what does that mean for the valuation? what does that do for sama's patek phillipe collection?? nothing good I assure you. the AI product and engineering landscape is insanely competitive, like actually competitive.

that's what I'm saying, the circle doesn't square here.


btw the product ideas ARE cool. I like them. they are not worth eleventy trillion dollars.
