Wait, does “generate profit” include selling products that don’t actually exist yet? Like, has the “AI” generated profit if Sam Altman’s unrealistic promises pull in more investments, even if none of the promises are ever delivered?

Nah, this is real profits. Real profits turned over to Microsoft:

Microsoft’s current agreement with OpenAI entitles it and other investors to take a slice of profits until they collect $100 billion.

Heads, Microsoft makes tens of billions in profit on their investment. Tails and Microsoft keeps Open AI in a tight embrace until they have sucked everything they want from them.

Would be smart, except they are sucking poison. Let’s see how Microsoft’s monopoly position can get them out of this jam!

If anything it will put them in a deeper hole.
