Don't you think that the brand is huge though? It has become a household name and it's synonymous with artificial intelligence. They're also supposed to get grotesque amount of investments which is supposedly more than twice the value of what Musk offered(They have %40 stake in the project Stargate, which is supposedly $500B thing).

The world is littered with old once-great brands.

You talk numbers, so let me ask you a numbers question: at their current valuation, if the brand is 60% of the value that’s top 5 estimated brand value.

Is OpenAI really one of the five most valuable brands in the world?

How did you choose 60% as the brand value ratio?

It got mentioned in the new york times and South Park a handful of times. How many billions is that worth if your technology is obsolete, your prospects are poor, your employees are taking the piss in interviews...?

It's an English term for mocking, teasing, ridiculing. I believe from the link of "piss" being alcohol. "He's on the piss again."
