I saw this earlier:
@bytevagabond.com
10 years of OpenAI:
2015: $0 profit
2025: Still $0 profit (but in a blazer)
Lost ~$8B in 2025.
Projected $14B loss in 2026.
Deutsche Bank estimates $143B in negative cash flow before profitability.

@krystyna@toad.social this is not that important – billions are still changing hands (hardware providers like NVidia, AWS, Microsoft, Google are earners) but the most importantly, societal changes are colossal.

@krystyna@toad.social @nixCraft@mastodon.social I expect the hardware giants (Amazon, Microsoft, Google, NVidia, Apple) to either sideline or acquire software-first companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Cursor. They’re closing the tech gap and have the capital. When training a single LLM generation costs hundreds of millions in compute, and every model could be a flop, a waste or money
