OpenAI is essentially a small VC.
It invests money, and the recipients are the smartest PhDs in the world. The profit is a gamble on the emergence of GPT, DALLE, and Sora-level jobs in the future.
As long as OpenAI is still alive, the smartest PhDs in the world will frantically submit their resumes to squeeze in, and together they will be crazy about it. In this way, a DALLE, GPT, and Sora-level revolution will emerge every year.
GPT will be surpassed, but OpenAI is betting on the next track.
