So I just read that [openAI has a 730 Billion valuation pre-money](https://blocknow.com/openai-funding-round-nears-record-100b-raise-valuation-targets-850b/) and they're raising money again - 100B right now.
In 2025, they raised [40 Billion at a $300 Billion valuation](https://openai.com/index/march-funding-updates/) (and apparently another 8B until the year's end)
How is this possible? A company reach a possible TRILLION valuation before evne hitting the stock market. Moreover, tech companies are pouring dollars into AI like it's the only thing that matters.
Imo, the AI right now is exactly as an outsourcing company.
I use it, I pay for it because it helps me to whatever job I have and then when I dont need it - I close my subscription.
And who do they believe it's gonna buy a company that's launching at a 1T valuation? It took Apple 37 years to reach 1 Trillion dolars valuation ([they even got in Guinness](https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/549301-first-trillion-dollar-public-company?utm_source=chatgpt.com)) , Microsoft 33 years, Nvidia 24 years and Meta 9 years.
Sorry for the rant, but I don't understand how companies like Amazon are firing people just so they could throw billions at a company that wants to 'replace' people.
