But they made more than 300 million last quarter if I recall.
They “yet to turn a profit” criticism hit a roar in 2022 as the easy money dried up. See articles like:

They may be a bet on self driving for mobility, but they are making most of their profit growth from Amazon-style last mile.

did you think the same thing about crypto?
many more ways, the only limit is your imagination. basically just a massive accelerator and upleveler for me.
But now instead of wading through miles of junk to get to some potentially wrong answer I get straight to a potentially wrong answer.
Not wading through the SEO muck makes it all worth while. I pay OpenAI for the privilege.
I work in AI now and spent 3 years in the crypto space, to say crypto has left nothing of value really is an over simplistic view. To say Uber is a failed company (I worked at a ride share company too), wow. Does he not remember the utter hellscape of getting a taxi in SF 10 years ago?
The executives at these companies (mine too) openly declare a bubble similar to .com in the offing, cash in on it while you can. Maybe you’ll get lucky and get early access to some of these models we’ve got cooking to use for personal projects ;).
