Am I right to say that "AGI" was just...cancelled again? Did we just get scammed right in front of our eyes with an overhyped release and what is now an underwhelming model if the point was that GPT-5 was supposed to be trustworthy enough for serious use-cases and it can't even count or reason about letters? So much for the "AGI has been achieved internally" nonsense with the VCs and paid shills on X/Twitter bullshit…
I asked it to make a drawing of the US with every state numbered from biggest to smallest with 1 being the largest. Maine was #89 (That is not a typo.) and Oregon was #1. OpenAI as a company simply cannot exist without a constant influx of investor money. Burning money on every request is not a viable business model. Companies built on OpenAI/Anthropic are similarly deeply unprofitable businesses. OpenAI needs to con…
burning money worked for Uber. As long as they can IPO or get cheap debt from governm friends any valuation can work. Uber lost double digit billions as an app with no edge or anythin. It always made no sense beyond 1 billion
OpenAI competes with google, who can drop 50B/y into AI hype for very long time.

Does it get the non-drawing written text list version right at least?
But this company is valued more than Netflix. The bar should not be this low.

So let's imagine is 2040 and OpenAI is finally profitable. Now, Uber did this by increasing prices, firing some staff and paying smaller wages to drivers. And all this while having near-monopoly in certain areas. What realistic measures would they need to take in order to compete with, say, Google? Because I just wish them good luck with that.

I wouldn't say they had no edge. They had a huge advantage over traditional taxi companies. You can argue that a local Uber-like app could be easily implemented, that's where the investors came in to flood the markets and ensure other couldn't compete easily.
The situation is in no way similar to OpenAI's. OpenAI truly has no edge over Anthropic and others. AGI is not magically emerging from LLM's and they don't seem to have an alternative (nobody does but they promised it and got the big bucks so now it's their problem).
Earlier quoted context omitted.

It regurgitates the list in text form, which is almost certainly in the training data. But this company is valued more than Netflix. The bar should not be this low.

I have no idea if OpenAI succeeds or not but I find arguments like yours difficult to understand. Most businesses are not using these systems to draw a map. Maybe the release of 5 is lackluster but it does not change that there is some value in these tools today and ignoring R&D (which is definitely a huge cost) they run at a profit.
