🤖 OpenAI once promised not to race, now it's the number 1 racer

- When founded in 2015, OpenAI said it would not be driven by money, would make open, safe AI, sharing for humanity.

- Now it's... different.

💰 From non-profit to strong commercialization

- 2020: launched GPT-3 API for businesses

- 2022: launched ChatGPT, went viral globally

- Projected revenue for 2025 is 12.7 billion dollars

📈 ChatGPT is a turning point, causing the entire AI industry to go crazy

In just 5 days, there were 1 million users, after 2 months reached 100 million, the fastest in history.

⚔️ Sam Altman once refused to compete, then became the flag bearer

- Google sounded the “red alarm”.

- Meta abandoned the metaverse to chase AI.

- The entire tech industry in the U.S., Europe, and Asia is diving in

💥 There are 4 reasons OpenAI flipped

- Costs are too high: chips, servers, data, engineer salaries... costing tens of billions of dollars

- ChatGPT succeeded too quickly

- Sam Altman is too ambitious

- Need to go first to gain the upper hand

🧠 Altman once wanted to run for Governor of California

- After Trump won the election in 2016, Altman wanted to try his hand at politics.

- But in the end, chose the path of... artificial.

🌍 OpenAI is worried about China surpassing, so it speeds up even more

In summary:

- OpenAI says it doesn't want to race, but... is racing ahead of the stopwatch.

- If a non-profit can earn 12.7 billion dollars, it might propose to rename Open AI to: OpenDola – Open for ideals, closed for revenue!
