OpenAI's $1 Trillion Bullsh*t Is Falling Apart House of - El - AI



In this video, I break down why my trust in OpenAI collapsed, from leaked financials showing huge operating losses and a $5.7 billion sales-and-marketing surge, to falling market share, silent model routing, reliability problems, and a culture that seems more focused on controlling the narrative than being transparent. OpenAI helped define the AI boom, but as it prepares to ask public investors for a trillion-dollar valuation, the real question is whether users, developers, and businesses can still trust the company behind ChatGPT. This is not a story about whether AI is impressive; it is a story about what happens when extraordinary technology is managed by a company that keeps choosing perception over honesty.
