Consider two dictionaries, one in which the entries are alphabetized as usual and one in which they're randomized. Both support random access: you can turn to any page, and read any entry. Therefore both are "accessible". Only one actually supports useful, quick word lookup.
Altman cannot control anything because he doesn't have any secret sauce. Everything he has has been replicated by others.
He doesn't have anything comparable to, say, the operating system platform dominance of Microsoft Windows, or service platform dominance of YouTube.
The entire value proposition of OpenAI is that billions of people don't know that anything other exists than ChatGPT, which is rather tenuous and volatile.
No, it becomes realized when it is sold. They held a bunch of gold that appreciated in value. On paper, they became richer. By selling it that became realized.

It's not just that programs had small images. The noteworthy thing is that they weren't small due to externalizing their dependencies. They relied on no third party code other than a few meagre services of the operating system. They did their own sound and graphics down to the pixel level.
We can't compare 40 KB image today to a 40 KB image from 1980 something, if the contemporary one relies on 100 MB of external cruft, like a rich programming language runtime (fetched and install separately) and packages.
I suppose it would be worse without the notifications, even though they are form of spam, because then you wouldn't know what some anonymous posters are writing under a purported profile of yours.
Speaking of which, the author is possibly an even bigger asshole than Zuckerberg. Oh you don't like what anonymous somebodies wrote about you under a profile you didn't even create yourself (because I did it for you)? Why suck my dick!
