  • Sure, it took dropbox 9 years, Amazon took 7.

    OpenAI just turned 10, with profit nowhere in sight, and a path to profitability completely invisible.

  • It's really not, since all their models cost progressively more to run, and don't bring in any more money.

    Remember, all those paying subscribers COST them money every month.

  • What is? Pointing out that dropbox has a conversion more than twice as high as OpenAI?

  • Google made their CEO of advertising into the CEO of search. Unsurprisingly, it sucks now.

  • Peope don't usually compare OpenAI with Dropbox, but Dropbox isn't particularly great with the free-to-paid converion rating. 2.6% is pretty bad, but they STILL manage to make money because what they do is pretty cheap on a per-user basis. They just host data, and most of that data isn't really used much. Also, I don't know if Dropbox is "that" profitable. All I could find is that their revenue exceeds their operating costs, but I don't know if that covers R&D or marketing, which they probably spend a LOT of money on.

    Comparisons with YouTube and Spotify get thrown around a lot more, which convert around 5% and a whoppingly insane 36%, compared to OpenAI's measly 1%. And both YouTube and Spotify actually make a LOT of money on their "free" users, via ads. OpenAI has no monetisation beyond subscribers, and they're very bad at getting people to pay for their stuff.

  • What proportion of people with Dropbox or Google Docs or Hotmail are paying customers?

    Dropbox is nice enough to list it.

    They have 700m users, and 18m of them pay for the service, so about double of OpenAI. Completely unlike OpenAI, however, they make quite a bit of profit, having a revenue of 2.55b and 1.63b in operating costs. OpenAI subscribers can't even cover their own cost of inference.

  • Imagine having 79 unpaid users for every subscriber. Most companies would die from embarrassment.
