If AI models are so good, why doesn't OpenAI start 100 companies?
Original: Ask HN: If the models are so good, why doesn't OpenAI just start 100 companies?
A question circulating among technologists asks a pointed question about OpenAI: if its models are genuinely as capable as claimed, why doesn't the company simply launch a hundred startups itself and capture the value directly, rather than selling access to others. Commenters are debating whether that reveals real limits in what the models can do autonomously, or whether it reflects capital, focus and risk considerations instead.
Why now: The question touches a live debate about whether frontier AI claims match demonstrated economic results.
