Is there any indication of what avenues OpenAI will be (or would consider) using to generate revenue? A lot of the most financially lucrative opportunities for AI (surveillance/tracking, military) are morally ambiguous at best.

If they actually make a strong, general artificial intelligence, sci fi has a couple answers.

In one (I can't find the title), MIT students make an SGAI and somehow manage to keep it contained (away from the internet). They feed it animated Disney movies and it cranks out the best animated movies ever made. They make billions. Eventually they make "live-action" movies that are indistinguishable from the real thing. Then they make music, books, etc, and create an unstoppable media force.

They could leverage the AI to discover hyper-efficient supply chain methods.

They could sequence genomes and run experiments, and sell the data.

Possibly exciting things around weather prediction.

Very exciting things around any research.

Certainly if they make a strong AGI, money is no longer an issue. I'm curious what they will do in the, ah, interim, on the off-chance that inventing SAGI turns out to be a difficult problem.
