I take this code red as a red flag. Open AI should continue to concern itself with where it will be 5 years from now, not lose sight over concern about where it will 5 months from now.

open ai is at risk of complete collapse if it cannot fulfill its financial obligations. if people willing to give them money don't have faith in their ability to win the AI race anymore, then they're going out of business.

Exactly. They aren't going to win the AI race chasing rabbits at the expense of long-term goals. We're 3 years into a 10 year build-out. Open AI and it's financiers are too impatient, clearly, and they're fucking themselves. Open AI doesn't need to double it's revenue to meet expectations. They need to 50x their revenue to meet expectations. That's not the kind of problem you solve by working through the weekend.

		The financiers are running out of money to lend. At this point, staying negative profit isn’t an option, they need to be able to fund themselves or they’ll go bankrupt.

		i cannot imagine how they are going to be able to meet their obligations unless they pull off a massive hail mary at this point via a bail out or finding someone to provide tens of billions of dollars in funding.

Back in the day before Adobe bought Macromedia, there was a constant back and forth between Illustrator and Freehand where each release would better the competitor at least until the competitor's next release.

Does anyone in AI think about 5 years from now?

		Google is well positioned because they were thinking about AI from the earliest days. The race not a sprint, it just seems that way.
