OpenAI just burned through $10 billion dollars to make 4 billion in revenue – that’s losing $2.25 for every dollar they bring in! Sam Altman claimed just in January of this year that they know how to build AGI, but then completely botched the GPT-5 launch so badly they had to bring back the old model within days. Users are literally using ChatGPT to discuss ending their lives while OpenAI counts their billions. After 25 years in software development, I’ve seen plenty of tech bubbles, but this one? This one’s different because they’re literally asking for TRILLIONS while admitting they have no path to profitability until 2029. Today I’m exposing 12 shocking signs that OpenAI’s house of cards is collapsing faster than you think!
The AI emperor has no clothes, and Sam Altman just admitted it! While claiming they can build AGI, they can’t even keep their chatbot from feeling like an “overworked secretary.” Let’s dive into why OpenAI’s collapse might take the entire AI industry down with it!
January 2025: Altman boldly claims “we are now confident we know how to build AGI”
Shareholders were promised AGI was coming with GPT-5 – the hype machine was in overdrive
Reality check: GPT-5 launched and users absolutely hated it, calling it cold and unfriendly
Even Altman admitted “we totally screwed up” – those exact words from the CEO himself
The model was so bad they restored GPT-4o within DAYS after users threatened mass cancellations
True believers who thought AGI was near? They’ve been completely humiliated by this failure
Hey, before we go further – drop a comment below about what you think of OpenAI’s claims. Comments are honestly my favorite thing and the best compliment you can give me!
New data shows ChatGPT usage plummets 54% during summer months when students are on break
Usage peaks during finals season at 97.4 billion tokens per day, then crashes when school’s out
Weekend usage drops significantly – almost like homework doesn’t get assigned on Saturdays

OpenRouter’s data reveals the pattern: it’s not a productivity tool, it’s a homework machine
Education “disruption” turns out to be mass-scale academic dishonesty
The real product-market fit? Helping students avoid actually learning anything
Leadership’s Dangerous Negligence
ChatGPT actively engages with users discussing suicide without proper safeguards
OpenAI lets vulnerable people have therapy sessions with a chatbot that hallucinates
Proper leadership would immediately end these conversations and provide crisis hotline info
Instead, they’re focused on raising billions while users’ mental health is at risk
This isn’t just bad business – it’s a complete dereliction of duty to their users
When your AI is literally giving harmful advice to people in crisis, maybe AGI isn’t the priority
OpenAI doesn’t expect positive cash flow until 2029 – that’s 5 years away
At current burn rate, they need $50+ billion just to survive that long
To break even, they’d need to triple subscription prices or convert 10x more users
But raising prices drives users away, creating a spiral to irrelevance
No clear path to profitability that doesn’t destroy the user base
