With OpenAI being at the center of the AI hype, I would’ve thought they’d be raking in the dough instead of losing $5 billion. So it’s really just Nvidia making money on this bullshit, huh? It’ll hurt when the hype dies down and Nvidia drops from the second top spot on the S&P 500. We’re all going to feel that one.
You know, to make money in a gold rush, don’t dig, sell shovels.
What is AI gold then?
Autonomous vehicles, robotics, LLMs
nah its whitelabelling AI credits. You build an API connector, charge 3x for a credit and sell it to a business.
And Nvidia has really fancy shovels.
I think this is just OpenAI marketing.
“Insane thing: We are currently losing money on OpenAI Pro subscriptions!” he wrote in a post.
The problem? Well according to @Sama, “people use it much more than we expected.”
Oh no, ChatGPT is too useful to customers! Altman isn’t going to be telling any real problems that OpenAI has to the whole world over Twitter.
That’s because the whole thing is stupid. Is made by stupids, marketed to stupids, paid by stupids, and for the most part used by stupids. Because they’re stupid.
There’s a pattern in there if you look closely.
Or you’re stupid because you can’t use LLMs effectively, don’t understand their value, and now you’re angry because of that.
There is value in current ai but everyone who’s in charge thinks it’s economic value.
If AI cost peanuts to run, this would be a very reasonable point. But it doesn’t. It’s staggeringly expensive to operate something like ChatGPT.
So any use of genAI has to consider the question “Do the benefits provided actually justify the cost?”
Obviously, in a capitalist society this turns into “How can we monetize this?”, but even in a fully socialist society it would still be necessary to ask if this technology is actually providing sufficient societal benefit to actually justify the material resource cost of running it.
I feel like you’re putting it down, but for the life of me, I am not picking it up. Can you please try explaining again, but slower? Use simple words. Like I’m stupid or something.
I think he’s trying to say it’s marketing’s fault.
That’s stupid
