In almost 30 minutes of discussion about OpenAI no one discussed the obvious. For OpenAI to massively grow revenue they have to stay in the lead. Anthropic, Google, xAI, and even Deepseek will have something to say about that. OpenAIs lead has dwindled, the gap between commercial and freely available AI models has closed, and many competitors have healthy cash flow already.
I really enjoy Behind the Money podcasts and this one about GE Vernon is a good example. The podcast provided good information but am sorry to note that the speech quality of Amanda Chu makes it so difficult to understand. Please, please get some speech training, you are a great reporter,
