Broken record at it again ...

"OpenAI has no moat ... OpenAI has no moat ... OpenAI has no moat"

If they didn't have a moat, why is there a 500B dollar investment plan for them?

If they didn't have a moat, why is there a 100B hostile takeover on the table?

If they didn't have a moat, why has no one taken their place?

If they didn't have a moat, why did they climb up to the 8th most visited site in a couple years? Where are all the others? *crickets*

Come on ... think!

Most of these are not evidence of lack of moat.

>Where are all the others?

You're funny.

Explain their moat to us dummies.

Start with China spending ~$2 billion to start DeepSeek by training in on OpenAIs outputs, and more to falsely claim it was an independent operation on only a $5million [0] . It did initially create a problem in the markets, and put out a bunch of bad assumptions. But the mere effort put in to undermine it shows it is in the front — OpenAI is the one out front with the target on it's back.

Will OpenAI be brought down? Maybe. But they do have the lead, and are running like they mean to keep it. The future is not yet written.
