> What OpenAI really wants

1. Get lots of users; 2. monetize everything; 3. go public; 4. sell all shares and get super rich?

That's if they are not ambitious. Might also be trying to become the new Google, or at least put the O in MANFANGO.

Jesus, can we find a phrase like "tech giants", rather than changing the acronym according to the stock market?

Lol I did always wonder how Netflix qualified for FAANG but little ol' Microsoft didn't.

It's fairly striking how okay it is to simply paint someone with power in any corner you please. You can basically make any claim you want, and be just fine with it, societally.

I also notice, how the effortlessness with which it is done increasingly provides a solid estimate for how lame the painters are.

That's a very florid unsubstantiated ad-hominem. You could at least attempt to refute the actual claim being made. Several of OpenAI's "founding donors" feel burned by the taking-it-private shenanigans, so it's not exactly an outlandish take.
