This subthread is full of people explaining why they don't believe OpenAI could successfully match Google's financial performance. Sure. I'm not investing either. My point isn't that they're going to be successful, it's that there are plausible stories for their success that don't involve science fiction.

People don’t seem to understand that investment portfolios are personal, that just because an investment doesn’t make sense for their portfolio doesn’t mean that it doesn’t make sense for anyone’s. Allocating a tiny fraction of a portfolio to high risk/high reward investments is a sound practice. When those portfolios are, say, large pension funds, the total sum to invest can be hundreds of millions.

Dissenters should consider that their might be short plays, that if what they think is true they could make some money.
