alt Hacker NewsRemember when OpenAI bought a device company for 6 billion dollars, a company that had never made a device.
Remember when OpenAI bought a podcast that gets 500 views and no comments on Youtube for 100 million dollars?
(And they've never advertised on it either, their name isnt anywhere on the screen while theirs dozens of other sponsors)

When your company is bleeding billions every year already, buying startups is pocket money. If anything it's actually a good diversification strategy to build tools that bring new value not directly tied to their loss leader product.
