Lemmy, this is the fourth year in a row that "OpenAI bankrupts soon" articles are being posted:

Year Article Explicit bankruptcy claim
2023 Business Today — “OpenAI might go bankrupt by end of 2024”, August 12, 2023 OpenAI could go bankrupt by the end of 2024 because of ChatGPT’s high operating costs, mounting losses and dependence on continued Microsoft funding.
2024 ITPro — “OpenAI could go bankrupt in 12 months if it doesn’t raise some serious cash”, August 7, 2024 OpenAI could go bankrupt within twelve months unless it secured substantial additional financing.
2025 Braden Kelley — “Is OpenAI About to Go Bankrupt?”, December 4, 2025 The article explicitly asks whether OpenAI is “on the brink of bankruptcy” and argues that its spending and business model may be financially unsustainable.
2026 Windows Central — “OpenAI might torch $14 billion in 2026, hitting bankruptcy by next year”, January 20, 2026 OpenAI could burn through approximately $14 billion during 2026 and face bankruptcy by mid-2027.

OpenAI isn't going anywhere.

Because they really should be failing. These companies are leveraging against themselves and getting propped up by the government.

They will get bailed out just like 2008 to avoid a cataclysmic global financial meltdown. I won’t be surprised if other countries chip in to bail them out.

And it's the year of the Linux Desktop! What a coincidence!

To be fair, the Linux Desktop use to have virtual no market share. Now it is close to 5%. Linux used to be absolutely painful to run as a desktop environment. Now, there are some rough edges, but it works pretty well.
