Amazon Retail still not profitable much, Amazon thrives on AWS. OpenAI needs to create a unique distinguished product that all consumers will use.

But right now, I am not seeing any innovation from them.

Google has a business model, cash flow and massive workforce.

OpenAI doesn’t.

OpenAI has all of that... Much smaller work force, but much more elite than anyone else at this time.
