For folks who are skeptical about OpenAI's potential, I think Brad Gerstner does a really good job representing the bull case for them (his firm Altimeter was a major investor in their recent round).

- They reached their current revenue of ~$5B about 2.5 years faster than Google and about 4.5 years faster than Facebook

- Their valuation to forward revenue (based on current growth) is inline with where Google and Facebook IPO'd

He explains it all much better than I could type - https://youtu.be/ePfNAKopT20?si=kX4I-uE0xDeAaWXN&t=80

OpenAI is not profitable.

That was OK in the case of Google and Facebook because switching off of either platform was too costly for a consumer. Clear path to profitability.

But OpenAI is super easy to switch off of. You can plug and play models very easily.

Does OpenAI's revenue per user increase with each new user? I don't think so, but it was definitely the case with Google and Facebook . That's a big difference that you can not overlook

I think right now they lose more money with each user. But maybe their value lies in training data
