I know one of these and she’s been trying to flip poorly refurbished furniture on instagram for years too.

Rip I personally want to thank you that you’ve probably made me drink like … 400 glasses of water since beta off reminders alone.
I, like Tess, get to sippin whiskey neat and forget about my clear buddy.

Rufo, just last week was saying they need to be stuffing progressives into unmarked vans.
That said, I’m picturing them trying to lift Fetterman to yakkity sax. That being said, this is LITERALLY, democracy manifest. :(

I can tell you most F500s will spend the API cash 99/100 vs. running or fine tuning a model they need to buy depreciating assets to use (GPUs) and employees to Shepard the process.

None of them give a shit about anything you just brought up and will continue to be their cash cow, per their contracts.

I get that but you keep talking like the end users on the chat interface matter to their bottom line. They do, but not in the same way as API customers who have:
- the contracts
- the lions share or their revenue
- use their API because it’s not run or created by foreign or hostile nation states.

I get what you’re saying - but the whole “knowledge cutoff” problem is only a complication and that’s assuming they’re gonna stop training models (they’re not). My point is that’s 80% (or more?) of their cash burn but their IP is now worth tens of billions and is tied to load bearing health infra.

lol. No. That’s not what’s making it money, my friend. Its consistency as thing that “takes unstructured text” -> transform according to nebulous rules -> structured output is what. They could never fine tune another model and their current contracts would guarantee billions in revenue.

Project mgr: our downstream partners would like to see about getting our laments in JSON format? How… are we receptive there?

Fair - I think of it as more of OpenAI is just a business that spends an insane amount on r and d, to a point where it may actually kill them someday but if they stopped training models today they’d still make tens of billions.

So again - you make a model once. That’s their BY FAR largest cost. The government contracts that depend on 4o alone could keep that company buoyant for a LOOONG time. Just trying to be real here, it’s the RnD they’re lighting money on fire for but they’ve got money makers they could lean on.

Jer they have billion dollar contracts with hospitals, the pentagon, etc.
Let’s not be reductive about just how plumbed into “PROD” ChatGPT is. They could stop making models tomorrow and coast on the revenue for years.

And the other difference is the human does it with intent.

Not even remotely comparable, I’m afraid. Millions of people use ChatGPT. The medical industry alone gives them so much money for things like Patient Visit summarization etc.
Elizabeth made a thing that didn’t work and took the money up front. ChatGPT is in PROD at hospitals.

Except Ponzi schemes don’t have recurring revenue….. so no.

Ed - a question: If OpenAI decided they’d train zero more models today and continued to make billions in revenue (10b) on just the stuff that uses their api, does any of this hold water?
They’d need no additional GPUs but yet.. they’d be very profitable, wouldn’t they?

That’s kinda the secret, Beave. We’re all dealing with a curve of some kind. “But when life throws you a curved dick; take the scenic route.”

I’m from these parts - this is just basically describing all dudes if he takes the armor off. Hope they’re on his trail and that they don’t bother with the arrest.
