OpenAI valued at 300B will never be able to produce the same products "wrappers" that these 5 people startups are making. Same reason Facebook could not make Instagram, of Jira could never make bootcamp for example.

Counterexample- Facebook made Threads which has similar # users as Twitter now.

Didn't it came out recently that those numbers were bugus, since basically every Instagram account must have a Threads account, and those are not actual active users?

…. Does anyone actually use Threads? I’ve never once seen a threads link and I understood the user count was just because every facebook or IG or whatever user automatically got a generated account?

Don’t believe everything you read if you actually believe this. Threads in no way has close to the same actual usage or users

Meta really, really likes to game their numbers. Take claims of that with a hefty grain of salt.
