I think fundamentally, it's just an example of how much our reality and what good and bad and productive and
ROI driving, how much of that is driven by what wealthy people think and want to believe, rather than what's actually happening.
And at this point, the only way it ends is tears.
Here's the thing.
I have to push back.
I don't even know why you needed to couch that by saying there was no... There are tons of reasons to believe this.
Because, as I've said, OpenAI is the majority of AI revenue.
It's the majority of AI use cases.
It's the majority of AI writ large.
Without OpenAI, if OpenAI can die, everyone who's currently been ignoring the sorry state of AI companies, saying that they'll just work it out, it's just like the dot-com bubble, which it is not,
they will see these companies and say, oh, right, none of these companies ever made sense.
Perplexity, cursor, cognition, all of these companies that are perennially unprofitable.
Suddenly, everyone will go from thinking, I'll believe anything these people say to doubting everything they say.
And everything falls apart from there because the largest confidence game in the history of tech is open AI.
No.
And that's the thing.
That right there is exactly what the companies want you to say and want everyone to say, which is, we're early, we're early.
Stop thinking about it.
That is what the AI companies need you to do.
We're not early.
