Your local grocery store is more profitable than OpenAI. In fact you are more profitable than OpenAI.
OpenAI owes hundreds of billions of dollars, with a revenue a fraction of that. They will never become profitable.

The Weimar Republic was more profitable… well no, maybe not. But you get the sentiment.

They will never become profitable. If you look at OpenAI as a single, independent, private company then they appear unprofitable. But when you look at them as a means of laundering Pentagon money and other federal contracts into straw purchases for NVIDIA and Oracle, they are immensely profitable. AI is a Loss Leader. It props up the production and sale of hardware, which has been enormously profitable for its partners, its investors, and the economy as a whole.
