This appears to be more like a toxic rant than a reasonable argument.

> quite the amateur move to not seize the market opportunity and keep it holistically for themselves

What does this even mean? There are so many businesses, especially in the advertising world, that first start white-label reselling so that you can scale up super easy and quickly. Then once market is captured, you integrate everything. This is a common adtech playbook, and the Meta execs know that as well.

And I say this as someone who founded & exited their own adtech platform.

I would not recommend OpenAI to start developing an RTB platform right now at all. Just first prove there is a market and the value is there.

> They took nothing from Google's paved road of incumbency in this segment.

Google bought / acquired themselves into the online adtech market mostly. Yes they have adwords, which was only really becoming something a decade after Google launched, which they paired with their acquisition of half the adtech giants (DoubleClick, Invite and AdMeld). So yeah, not a great example.

> I'm glad at yet another miss by Altman. But to claim ChatGPT is too new? Apparently hundreds of millions of users doesn't cut it these days.

This is just a useless attack for no reason.
