Hook everyone on the service and then jack up the price when they can’t afford to tell you to fuck off. Stonks.
And setting aside for a moment the question of what you’d even do with a system incapable of counting the number of b’s in the word blueberry or figure out how a bicycle works, who’s going to be subsidizing the energy and infrastructural costs? OpenAI’s other customers? Their investors?
I presume this is a Ellison-style long-con aimed at insinuating themselves into the operations of the US government, but until the trap shuts on the US tax payers later, somebody else are going to have to pick up Uncle Sam’s tab. Who?
I was under the impression this was still a VC-driven bubble. The product is being sold below cost in most cases, so exactly how much below cost is sort of moot.
It’s being sold below cost in ALL cases. OpenAI literally has not posted profits, ever, if you discount the investor cash that gets hucked at them when they go begging for it every two or three months. They even admit they haven’t made a single cent on any of their subscription services.
I bet if we wait s bit, the chaos goblins will be out-chaosed.
