this is the argument i continue to have with people. first mover isnt always an advantage - i think openai will be sold or pennies on these dollars someday (next 5 years after they run out of funding).

Google has data, TPUs, and a shitload of cash to burn

Maybe but it's far from profitable. People largely don't want to pay for it either.

Who cares? profitability is not the most important thing at every stage of the product

I'm not sure because google was by far the best search engine for a long time in the early 2000s and there are a lot of models close to what openai has right now.
