    open-ai have proven they can make good / decent models but business strategy is just spray and pray.

    they need to pick a lane and optimize for it. coz at their size they can't serve the application layer (a.i startups who can fine-tune models will eat their lunch)

    if they gonna do a consumer play - then go ham on that.

    otherwise they're gonna get caught in the dreaded middle valley.

      Do they still do Atlas, the web browser? They are indeed throwing shit at the wall, seeing what stick.

          Unlike Google, OpenAI/Anthropic's core business has bad unit economics. So they have to fuck around and find out.
