Come on: openAI has a product that you can "touch" - both on your phone /home computer and at work, since their tech sits behind copilot (msft hit the jackpot with the licence).
It is a virtual product yes, but come on - no vapoware.
At work I see it - people want the better (and more expensive ) licences
Enron was a literal energy company, and also vaguely "the next big thing", "America's Most Innovative Company". There's a lot of parallels with how OpenAI is being hyped up and whether it actually merits a 12-13 figure valuation. See also WeWork, et al.
Given what we know about the CEO, it would not come as a shock if in a couple years we learn there was some good old accounting fraud involved.
Enron was a scam energy company pretending to be kind of a tech company, like it’s contemporary Worldcom (the scam telco pretending to be a tech company, scam companies are common in the south). Whether OpenAI is a scam or not, it’s definitely tech and nothing else.
Ok, and? Last I heard were talking about OpenAI, not Enron.
