Bubble's gonna burst!

OpenAI generated US$4.3 billion in revenue in the first half of 2025, according to financial disclosures to shareholders.

The artificial intelligence firm reported a net loss of US$13.5 billion during the same period, with more than half attributed to the remeasurement of convertible interest rights.

Research and development expenses were its largest cost, totaling US$6.7 billion in the first half.

(OpenAI current valuation: $500Bn.)

I'm not sure #SEC of last few decades would have ever investigated this kind of #Investment #capitalism. Company #Stock #buybacks have became a major #marketplace #engine without any real scrutiny.
