I'm betting against OpenAI. Sam Altman has proven himself and his company untrustworthy. In long running games, untrustworthy players lose out.

If you disagree, I would argue you have a very sad view of the world, where truth and cooperation are inferior to lies and manipulation.

There seems to be an ongoing mass exodus of their best talent to Anthropic and other startups. Whatever their moat is, that has to catch up with them at some point.

There is no moat. The reality is not only are they bleeding talent but the pace of innovation in the space is not accelerating and quickly running into scaling constraints.

People are really trying to sell this idea that LLMs are anything but commodities.

But they are, I don't care what model my applications use, I care about the results.
