GP didn't even use it right. That's the problem with a catchy buzzword, it tends to lose all meaning from overuse.

Could not agree with this more -- modern cancer treatment, chemo and radiotherapy, are really rough for a small survival rate. His last years were probably more comfortable then they could have been because he avoided these things, at the cost of shortening his life. Horrible to have to make that decision (eyes open or not...)

Yes. The major news outlets are very pro-Trump. Absolutely. Never any criticism of trump in the media. Sure.

Pick One. Or maybe None.

If this were true, then OpenAI would probably be profitable in its first 10 years -- by their own admission they're losing money hand over fist, and they're asking users not to use words like 'please' and 'thank you' because it increases their costs.

I suspect it'll eventually be per-prompt or per-token billing, because for heavy users even $200 a month would be a loss

I feel like there's a market gap for a "no-ai" search engine; just behave like google did in the "don't be evil" days, and i feel like it would get very popular very quickly.
