Young man, the fact your followed me without taking 5sec to look into me tells a lot. I don't know where you skimmed my name from, but everyone i converse and interact with is 18+. So as a minor I heavily suggest not trying to skim off 18+ communities, and demand refollows.

Exclusive: Based on documents viewed by this newsletter, OpenAI spent over $12.4 billion on inference from 2024 to September 2025. As part of its Microsoft revenue share, it sent $493.8m in 2024/$865.8m Jan-Sep 2025, implying lower revenues than previously reported.
