> They would have to be the biggest fools in tech history to not flip that switch

As much as I don't want ads infiltrating this, it's inevitable and I agree. OpenAI could seriously put a dent into Google's ad monopoly here, Altman would be an absolute idiot to not take advantage of their position and do it.

If they don't, Google certainly will, as will Meta, and Microsoft.

I wonder if their plan for the weird Sora 2 social network thing is ads.

Investors are going to want to see some returns..eventually. They can't rely on daddy Microsoft forever either, now with MS exploring Claude for Copilot they seem to have soured a bit on OpenAI.
