On: OpenAI bought the domain ai.com for $11M

5k is a steal for a good name.

Is it? does the .com really matter now as it did 20 years ago?

If you can afford $1m for a domain name, you can afford to advertise your site on search queries that specifically name your competitors.

If I see a link for a corporate site whose domain is not {company-name-or-abbreviation}.com I assume it's phishing spam.
