    OpenAI is a hollow investment. I could be wrong but from my understanding, they’ve received a ton of investment money to get where they are but haven’t been able to bring in any returns back to the investors. This puts them on the brink of collapse.

      A few price pump cycles and we’ll find ourselves reinventing entry level positions to save token costs.
