Rebutting OpenAI Bankruptcy Theory: AI Decline Will Be Slow, Not Abrupt
fkasummer · x · 2026-08-05
Responding to Ed Zitron's article "How Does OpenAI Survive?"—which argues that generative AI lacks mass-market utility, is prohibitively expensive, and that OpenAI faces bankruptcy without massive funding or a tech paradigm shift—blogger @fkasummer offers a different perspective.
They argue that predicting the abrupt collapse of a complex system like OpenAI is flawed logic, likely inspired by sudden financial system failures. However, systemic decline looks very different from abrupt transactional failures. They assert that if AI companies fail, it will be a long, slow decline rather than an abrupt stop.
