Wait, #openai is valued at $500 *billion*?
Are you kidding me? I wouldn't value it at more than $1 billion and that's being optimistically generous.
Of course there's a lot more to the article, which is informative, but the $500B is shocking for an environmentally damaging free product which plagiarizes existing works to function.
