Maybe? But you could have written this same thing in 1999 with OpenAI and Google replaced by Google and Yahoo, respectively.

And Google had profits - not just revenue - early on and wasn’t setting $10 on fire to have a $1 in revenue.

		Well maybe not in 1999. Adwords didn't launch until 2000? Google's 1999 revenue was...... I forget, but it was incredibly small. Costs were also incredibly small too though, so this isn't a good analogy given the stated year of 1999.

Google in 1999 was already far superior to Yahoo and other competitors. I don't think OpenAI is in a similar position there. It seems debatable as to whether they're even the best, let alone a massive leap ahead of everyone else the way Google was.

		Agree. And GOOG is not a one trick poney any more, by far, especially when it comes to revenue. Can't say the same of OpenAI
