A: Hey there! You won't believe the latest goss about OpenAI, right?
B: Nope, what happened?
A: So, those sneaky tech bloggers found some documents and... drumroll! Turns out Microsoft made a whopping $865.8 million from OpenAI in just the first three quarters of this year alone!
B: Whaaat?! That's crazy! I thought they only got like $493.8 million last year.
A: Yup, and guess what? The deal says Microsoft gets 20% of OpenAI's revenue. But here's the twist: Microsoft also gives a chunk of its Bing and Azure OpenAI Service money back to OpenAI!
B: Whoa, that's quite a financial dance they got going on there. I wonder how much Microsoft is making in total though...
A: Well, it's hard to say exactly because they don't break down those numbers. But we know OpenAI's revenue is probably way more than $13 billion this year and could even hit $100 billion by 2027!
B: Whoa, that's insane growth! So, how much did OpenAI spend compared to what they made?
A: Well, it looks like they spent around $8.65 billion on inference costs in the first nine months of this year alone. That's more than they earned during that period, which might make some people worry about the AI bubble.
B: Yeah, if even a big player like OpenAI is still losing money, what does it mean for the rest of the AI world? Scary stuff!
A: Definitely. And to add fuel to the fire, OpenAI and Microsoft both declined to comment on this matter. So, we'll just have to wait and see what happens next!
