Forty bucks lets you turn pages on a non-paper device. What a world we live in.

That would require him considering women as human beings rather than objects to fuck. He isn't capable of that.

Sometimes that choice is the right one. Not all parents are good parents. Some are downright toxic.

It really depends where you are talking about. In Kansas or Montana, can you rent an extra room relatively cheaply? Sure, probably for $500.

Can you do the same thing in New York or the San Francisco Bay Area? Only if you want to pay an extra $1k+ more in rent.

That sounds like the future of economics ... if unchecked by democracy.

No one is getting fired for doing what Altman told them to do. These failures aren't legit, they are theater to justify regulations ...

... regulations that would create a moat Open AI desperately needs around it's business, if it wants to be able to pay back the INCREDIBLY HUGE LOANS it needs to repay in the next year or two.

I know you're being flippant, but I'm referring to California's attorney general (who had been VERY vocal about pursuing this ... and who had been leading the charge on this lawsuit).

He capitulated after fighting hard and people were like "why would you do that?" Answer: BECAUSE GAVIN NEWSOM MADE HIM.

The CA attorney general buckled because of pressure from Gavin Newsom (who is worried that falling employment levels in CA might damage his run for president in a few years).

Again GAVIN NEWSOM is to blame. When he runs for president in a few years, remember it was GAVIN NEWSOM who betrayed America and forced his attorney general to let the Paramount deal through. GAVIN NEWSOME.

Training these models is incredibly expensive. In fact it's so expensive that there is no viable economic model to do so. As such, their options are either to drastically slow down the amount of new models trained or to go bankrupt. This is just a nice whitewashing of that. It remains to be seen if even using their models can be profitable, but we know that with the cost of training the next one they can't be.

They've NEVER profited off anything they've ever done. Open AI and the other frontier AI companies operate at a (INCREDIBLY HUGE) deficit!

Their entire business model requires them to grow by like 20x AND lower their costs to 1/20th where they are now (or something like that, not those exact numbers). If they can't do that, they literally will not be able to pay their bills in a few years.

It's a house of cards predicated on the assumption one company will dominate a huge new market AND get their costs way down, and THEN they will make huge profits for years on that market. If that doesn't happen, the subprime mess will look like child's play compared to what happens to the frontier companies (and likely the rest of the economy with them).

This was a terrible comment, and it absolutely deserved to be down-voted into oblivion ... but for what it's worth Anonymous Coward, you made me laugh.

It absolutely can ... it's just that when you ask it to do so:

• 30% of the time you'll get a simple correct answer
• 30% of the time you'll get a 10-page dissertation of the answer
• 30% of the time you'll get either a dissertation or one line ... that's wrong
• 10% of the time it will answer "they were talking shit" with no further explanation.

It's not quite *that* simple.

In OSS, *anyone* can fork the code. If it was as simple as "the original creator is doing stupid/terrible things", everyone involved could fork and start contributing to the fork (anyone ever hear of a little database called MySQL ... which is now more popularly known as MariaDB?)

But this isn't just about OSS code, it's about the corporation. It's that corporation that is the root of the entire problem.
