The Spin


Apple's blatant favoritism toward OpenAI creates an unfair playing field. The tech giant's partnership with OpenAI gives ChatGPT preferential treatment in rankings and editorial features while systematically excluding competitors like Grok from prime promotional spots. This monopolistic behavior violates basic antitrust principles.

Musk's accusations not only lack credible evidence but are laughably hypocritical given his alleged manipulation of the X platform to benefit his companies while directly harming competitors. In the meantime, OpenAI will continue working on what has made it so successful, creating new and exciting products for the market.


Metaculus Prediction

There is a 50% chance that OpenAI, DeepMind, or Anthropic will have revenue of at least $100B in 2027, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
