Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, with estimates that it has no road to profitability by 2030 — and will need a further $207 billion in funding even if it gets there
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

researchers picked 2000 posts from r/AmITheAsshole where consensus response was "yes, YTA", and they asked LLMs to respond.
Claude and GPT said "no, NTA" 50% of the time.
Gemini was the least sycophantic at 20% NTA.
they also tested human reaction to sycophantic vs non-sycophantic LLMs. results are as expected (but not very large)
