> OpenAI announced a few months ago that it had finally cracked $1B in monthly revenue (intriguingly, it did so twice, which makes me wonder how much fibbing there is in these statements).

I believe this is incorrect; as far as I've heard, an anonymous source leaked that OpenAI had hit $12B in annualized revenue a few months ago [1]. I do not personally put any weight in leaks, and prefer to operate on data that has been officially announced.

If you want officially announced data, OpenAI made $4.3 billion in the first half of this year.

Also not official numbers my brother [1]. Check your sources.

"Reported to shareholders" is a whole heck of a lot more accurate than some person on the internet playing numerology to turn similarly sketchily-sourced user numbers into revenue numbers.

That number was not reported as "reported to shareholders". Again, its astounding how wrong you keep getting this. It was leaked to The Information by an anonymous source who claimed to be a shareholder who received this financial disclosure.

Its all about citation. Everyone who read my numerology estimations above knew that they were estimations. You, on the other hand, lied about two different leaks of OpenAI's revenue numbers as being "official".
