Isn't he making a loss of a few billion a year? Reaching $-0 profit would be a huge improvement for OpenAI today.
in reply to David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)

@david_chisnall my understanding is it is $5B a quarter, there was a Microsoft statement that implies over $11B last quarter, and some analysts estimated losses of $115B through 2029.

Unlike software there are physical realities around power, cooling, cabling, batteries to UPS, etc.

A digitally illustrated image features three people against a split background of light blue and light green. The person on the left takes up most of the frame and is smiling with hands on hips. This person has long, reddish-brown hair and is facing forward. To the right of this person, two others stand side-by-side; the person on the left is smiling with a fist raised, and the person on the right has arms crossed and a frowning expression. All three people are wearing white shirts with pink detailing on the sleeves and collars.
