At this rate it’s better to start a company and get aquihired vs applying and getting hired.

Seems like OpenAI speed ran through the Facebook phase and are out of ideas

Au contraire, based on their recent hires, they're just beginning their Facebook phase. Expect to see a lot of ads 2 years from now, and expect to see a LOT of money being made by the company a year after that.

If they can maintain runway until then.

I predict this won’t be the case. The switching cost to a non Ad LLM is too low for me to be bothered with an ad based LLM.

OpenAI must justify ads when its competitors are not sending ads. Why would they? OpenAI models must be so good that it should be worth dealing with ads compared to say Claude or DeepSeek.

I predict it will be sneaky enough and the ChatGPT brand is strong enough to take it. Your switching cost is low - but you’re likely a tech enthusiast who likes researching and trying alternatives. Most people aren’t like that. The one competitor with anywhere close consumer recognition is Gemini and I’m sure Google would love to push ads too. Maybe not yet as they’re in the reputation building phase, but if it makes money I’m fairly sure everyone will end up doing it.
