Financial experts warn OpenAI may go bankrupt by mid-2027

OpenAI could reportedly burn through $14 billion in 2026, risking bankruptcy by mid-2027.

I’ve been an AI realist from the start. What can the models actually do? What are the limitations? Ultimately, I think there is a place in the market for them - for people who understand the limitations of them and know when they’re spewing BS.

I am not shocked at all that OpenAI (and Microsoft being one of it’s largest shareholders) is burning cash and suddenly is realizing it may not be able to make good on it’s promises. AI reality vs AI hype. Us actual tech people have known since the beginning this was all hype, now finance people are starting to notice (about time).

    You can have any colour you like, as long as it’s black.

    but we don’t even want it to begin with

    Yes, that’s why you want the black one.

      I’d argue even that’s better than what we’re getting now. If you’re looking for a car and they’re all in the most popular colour by default, then A. There’s a good chance you’re happy with it; B. You can change it later; but most importantly C. you already want a car. You’ve already bought into the product and are just quibbling about colour. This is seeing all the streetcars in LA being torn up, and a GM salesman is enthusiastically explaining how to get a driving license because it’s what everyone’s doing now they’ve ensured there is no choice.
