OpenAI isn't profitable. Should that be normal?

Maybe companies should be judged on their ability to effect change rather than hard dollars-and-cents.

      And yet this is a place where centrism is the goal.

      • We know that trying to tightly control economies does not work. At all. We shouldnt even try.
      • We also know that corporate-anarchy serves only robber barons. That’s not acceptable.

      So yes, the best answer is to give the market freedom but not complete freedom. To let it do its ups and downs … within limits. To combine the strengths of capitalism with the guardrails of a guided market. Where the capitalist driven market does not serve society, it’s a failure to guide the market so capitalism fulfills desirable goals

        There’s centrism and then there’s “centrism” 😅 (people who call themselves centrist and argue for acceptance of extremist right wing policies and “considering both sides of the argument”).

        Also the whole idea of left, right and centrist is an overused often oversimplification for the purpose of forming in groups and out groups which is not constructive and leaves no room for nuances.
