How does OpenAI plan to be profitable?

[jillesvangurp]

Economies of scale, optimization of models, hardware, energy infrastructure, data center construction and operation, etc. Stuff is currently relatively inefficient and there's lots of room for optimization. All the usual stuff.

Last man standing monopoly.

Is that even the plan, or is the plan to make a huge IPO while there's still hype and run off with the money?

[dgellow]

Running off with money to be burned by your infra is a pretty terrible plan
