"Competition is for losers." — Peter Thiel

>>garbag+(OP)
Except that Thiel's axiom refers to founding a business on a strategy to sell something that is truly novel, instead of copying what is already on offer. Being first to market as the primary competitive advantage, other than possible ip. Which are all goals that literally no entrepreneurs would find unsound in any way including morally. Thiel has never expressed support for such artless regulatory capture as a means of squashing competition.

Even if I wasn't going to argue that OpenAI had at least something new enough to capture people's attention, I will tell you that when it comes to people's quotes, the ReplyGuy "true" meaning of it matters less than the way its received as a meme.

I really don't care what's in Peter Theil's heart, I care how he influences others and that influence has been malign.

"Competition is for losers" pretty much speaks for itself. You can write an essay about it and hope everyone that looks at Theil as a hero reads that essay or you can take it at face like people are doing.
