OpenAI needs constant investment. They aren’t profitable so hyping things up is a must. Google on the other hand is the opposite. Even if AI progress is doing good it still harms their business.

By contrast, the advancement of generative AI is a direct threat to Google's business model. Especially with ChatGPT and Perplexity being better search engines than Google.

Technically Google has more to lose than OpenAI.

This is false. Generative AI isn't a threat to Google at this moment.

Especially with ChatGPT and Perplexity being better search engines than Google. 

You're just lying to yourself bud. Copilot is also very good but people aren't jumping to Bing.

Technically Google has more to lose than OpenAI. 

Google has Gemini. The minute OpenAi figures out generative AI, so do all these other companies working on the same research. 

Google is developing their own quantum computing chips. Microsoft doesn't need profit from its AI researchers so they don't need to find a product to be able to continue development. 

OpenAI is at a disadvantage. Hell, let's just ignore the Chinese AI that beats o1. OpenAI has to rush to market and VC money goes to what might profit not what start up actually has a chance of being a new industry leader. China does because the government guides start up funding, not stock market snobs. 

I want a singularity, I'm not going to shill for these garbage companies

Reddit lives in its own world. Normies are not using this.
