  The secret to success for OpenAI, Anthropic and labs is the vision that they saw 10 years back and kept working on it. We're in awe of how models like GPT-6 Astra and Claude Opus 5.5 are performing today, but it's important to understand that they've been working on this before we knew about AI.

  The next big thing is Robots and some stealth company building today is going to be a trillion-dollar giant in few years time.

    Don't confuse AI with LLMs. "We" know about AI for a long time. We even have a term for when AI fail expectations, AI winters.

  Its really impressive that they stuck to their vision over the long term. This is difficult and more challenging than it sounds.

    Not sure what happened on this page, but I saw so much AI tells on this particular page that I had to check archive.org and apparently the page has only been around for two years.

      It's only been saved as that URL for the last two years.

    That's good! The economy is thankful for it.

      The other two left because they had fundamental disagreements with sama about how to run a company and how to shepherd humanity into an AI future.

      If you ask me, it'd be better if none of them remained at OpenAI.
