1. OpenAI will continue the Ponzi scheme and swindle further investors until the bottom falls out, which could be as soon as this year, especially if a wider recession starts.
2. A large player like Apple or Microsoft will buy them or their assets for pennies on the dollar.
3. The only companies with enough capital to be AI companies will be mega tech giants, who will sink their excess profits into it until it’s clear saturation has been reached (e.g., Meta’s current VR divestment)
4. The products will be greatly compromised compared to present state and improvements will slow drastically. AI will be a somewhat useful product but the pricing will not support frivolous widespread use with the exception of very light/dumb models that are essentially “web search 2.0.”
