If companies like OpenAI were more astute, they would recognize that they can accumulate sufficient information to compete in other markets and evolve into technology firms capable of outpacing their competitors. If managed properly, they could even frame it as a form of reverse engineering. And if everything related to AI were truly just a bubble that eventually burst, it would make little difference whether they began as AI companies, since their ultimate purpose could shift over time. And yes, I am being ironic with “if they were more astute,” because I believe that what I am describing is clearly already being considered.
I fully expect OpenAI and the others are already doing this. And this is why the USA wants to keep China from developing better AI. Not for better AI, but to keep spying on corporate secrets within the USA.
