Before ChatGPT started writing your emails and explaining physics like a brunch topic, OpenAI was a cash-hungry research lab funded by Elon Musk and a few idealists. In this kickoff episode, host Emily Laird takes you back to the early days when GPT-3 was locked behind an API, DALL·E was dreaming in pixels, and OpenAI invented a “capped-profit” company to keep investors happy without selling its soul. This is the real story behind ChatGPT’s rise, built on cloud credits, venture capital, and a surprisingly good PR move.
