honestly I'd rather open source AI I can run locally. even for something like GPT4 an enterprise-scale operation could afford the hardware

If it's made from all of us it should be free for all of us.

I'm fine with these researchers going out and scraping the social networks to train models, it's incredibly advantageous to society in general. But it's gotta be crystal clear transparency and it's gotta be limitlessly free to all who want to.

It's the only way that any of this won't result in another massive boundary between the 1% and us pod living grunts. It's already a devisively powerful technology when harnessed adversarially, that power is reduced when everyone has access to it as well.

people will never be okay with the level of intrusive data mining required for OpenAI or Google’s business model

Where do you meet these people? I need more of such people in my life.

AI is the framework of a new digital economy, not the product.

That is one interesting sentence. Thanks.

$700k/dsy. That's $260 million per year. There are 360 million paid seats of MS360. So they'd have to raise their prices $0.73 per year to cover the cost. No one will notice.

It's answer was 42

3. Customized Solutions: OpenAI can collaborate with specific industries or companies to develop customized AI solutions tailored to their needs. These solutions can range from customer support bots to content creation tools.

4. Premium Features: OpenAI could offer advanced features, improved performance, or specialized functionality as part of premium packages, enticing users to upgrade their subscriptions.

5. Partnerships and Collaborations: OpenAI can collaborate with other tech companies, research institutions, or industries to jointly develop and commercialize AI applications.

6. Consulting and Services: OpenAI could provide consulting services, training, and expertise in AI technology to help organizations integrate AI into their operations effectively.

7. Training and Workshops: OpenAI can offer training programs, workshops, and educational resources to help individuals and businesses better understand and utilize AI.

8. Data Services: OpenAI can offer datasets, annotations, and data-related services to researchers, businesses, and developers working on machine learning projects.

9. Vertical-Specific Solutions: Developing AI solutions tailored for specific industries, such as healthcare, finance, or marketing, and offering them as industry-specific packages.

10. Community Contributions: OpenAI can build a community around its AI models and offer a platform for users to share and monetize their own creations, benefiting from the broader ecosystem.

It's important to note that OpenAI's approach to generating revenue will likely be influenced by factors such as market demand, ethical considerations, user feedback, and the evolving landscape of AI technologies and regulations. OpenAI aims to strike a balance between generating revenue and advancing its mission of ensuring AI benefits all of humanity.

All it takes is a couple of dudes to buy a couple of yachts, private planes maybe another home or two. And poof. Its gone.

It isn't. The article is obviously wrong.

Burning through billions of investors money isnt the same as being profitable. The Silicon Valley gravy train is over, and investors are actually demanding to start seeing returns on their investments.

At this point there are so many bubbles, the question is which one will burst first

Or we can hope that it does take the entire market economy down with it...

And instead of trying to make it use less resources to run, unlike Llama tries, openai just makes a new gpt that needs even more resources

These new schemes seem to burst more and more quickly. I'm pretty sure someone wrote something about it in some books i wish I'd read so I'd understand this phenomenon

One of the reasons tech companies were able to operate for a long time at a loss was due to interest rates being really low.

I think the increased interest rates are the reason for twitter, reddit, and other companies trying to monetize harder.

I could be wrong, I am not an economist. This is just the kind of stuff, I have read in other subs.

I think it would be auctioned and sold to the highest bidder.
