Are we supposed to post every blog/news post of OpenAI and keep fueling the AI hype? I think at this point people should know that OpenAI is just like any other company.

This seems like a big shift for OpenAI into an enterprise applications vendor to me.

What else could they have been? Microsoft didn't give them $10bn to build out their B2C homework autocomplete service.

A skunkworks shop that aims at 100x returns by producing cutting-edge AI tech, not another B2B BigTech company. Isn't that the very image they cultivated in the media?

How do you monetize cutting edge ai tech? Sell it. Who has money? Businesses.

IIRC, the pitch was AGI would allow OpenAI to print money by replacing humans in any industry and siphoning whatever was being spent on payroll for pennies on the dollar.

In reality, it's going to be enterprise and ads.
