đ„ Can OpenAI reach $100 billion in revenue by 2027?
Sam Altman's claim sounds insane. But math says otherwise.
Sam Altman says OpenAI will do âwell more than $13 billionâ in sales this year1. Moreover, he suggested that the company might reach $100 billion in revenues by 2027. If one were to consult my thesaurus for a word to describe this latter claim, one might end up with one of these to describe it:
Outlandish, ludicrous, farcical, nonsensical, cockamamie, balderdash, harebrained, risible, inane, asinine, patent lunacy, utter madness, sheer insanity.
But I donât pretend to know it all, so letâs figure out whether that $100 billion claim is feasible. Today, for members of Exponential View, we work backwards to understand how realistic Samâs expectations are AND where the money could come from.
