What is the point - exactly - of profit?

Profit is money you can't find a use for to grow your business, so you give some of it to the government in the form of tax.

Also there is a big difference between operational expenses and capital expenses like building data centers.

I think OpenAI is being very aggressive on the growth vs conservative financial management spectrum but just saying "only profit should matter" is just wrong.
