I get that AI is extremely useful.
But the idea that OpenAI can 1) create a much more powerful superhuman AI and 2) also keep the way of making it secret from competitors long enough to make all the money seems doubly unlikely.
What could we have if all that massive amount of money was used in one other field. (Or many others, there is too much money to invest effectively in just one thing)
In my favorite timeline, they fork GrapheneOS and throw boatloads of money at it. Embarass the Copilot clowns at Microsoft with actually useful integrations across the experience. Built-in social networking based on decentralized tools. Poach all the folks that matter from Google and Apple. Then finally sell something that is "open" to reclaim their credibility.
