Sam Altman is dangerous to artificial intelligence, not because he's building artificial general intelligence, which is a kind of AI that meets or surpasses human cognitive capabilities, by the way, Kind of like data from Star Trek.

OpenAI's growth is stalling, with Alex Kantrowitz reporting that user growth has effectively come to a halt based on a recent release claiming that ChatGPT had 100 million users a couple of weeks ago, which is, by the way, the exact same number that the company claimed ChatGPT had in November 2023.

With the company burning through capital at this insane rate, it's definitely more than $700,000 a day. It's got to be in the millions. If not more, it's insane. And while OpenAI is aggressively monetizing ChatGPT, both to customers and to businesses, it's so obviously far from crossing the break-even Rubicon.

They keep telling people, oh, it's making billions of revenue, but they never say profit.
