And it's the year of the Linux Desktop! What a coincidence!

Lemmy, this is the fourth year in a row that "OpenAI bankrupts soon" articles are being posted:
| Year | Article | Explicit bankruptcy claim |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | Business Today — “OpenAI might go bankrupt by end of 2024”, August 12, 2023 | OpenAI could go bankrupt by the end of 2024 because of ChatGPT’s high operating costs, mounting losses and dependence on continued Microsoft funding. |
| 2024 | ITPro — “OpenAI could go bankrupt in 12 months if it doesn’t raise some serious cash”, August 7, 2024 | OpenAI could go bankrupt within twelve months unless it secured substantial additional financing. |
| 2025 | Braden Kelley — “Is OpenAI About to Go Bankrupt?”, December 4, 2025 | The article explicitly asks whether OpenAI is “on the brink of bankruptcy” and argues that its spending and business model may be financially unsustainable. |
| 2026 | Windows Central — “OpenAI might torch $14 billion in 2026, hitting bankruptcy by next year”, January 20, 2026 | OpenAI could burn through approximately $14 billion during 2026 and face bankruptcy by mid-2027. |
OpenAI isn't going anywhere.
I presume it's supposed to be a (golden) snake eating itself. Could also be a mom protecting her eggs.
I requested my data via https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request, and used every ID on that list to delete the comment via a small Javascript script I used in the browser (so I didn't need to log on via their API, as I already was logged in).
It took a while because I had a 1 second delay between each delete. Before deleting I had actually replaced the last 1000 comments with some AI slow to poison their DB a little, before I decided to just slowly burn it all.
I've now been reddit free for a year, after having browsed the gods-forsaken site since 2008.
Eh, there are a few minor communities I would want to invite. The rest can proverbially burn with the platform.
Broski, it's not early 2023 anymore. Thinking models with internet access have been able to provide public sources just for over a year now. Technology evolves; shocking, I know...
