OpenAI Is A Bad Business (www.wheresyoured.at)

OpenAI, a non-profit AI company that will lose anywhere from $4 billion to $5 billion this year, will at some point in the next six or so months convert into a for-profit AI company, at which point it will continue to lose money in exactly the same way. Shortly after this news broke, Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati resigned, followed by Chief Research Officer Bob McGrew and VP of Research, Post Training Barret Zoph, leaving OpenAI with exactly three of its eleven cofounders remaining.

This coincides suspiciously with OpenAI's increasingly-absurd fundraising efforts, where (as I predicted in late July) OpenAI has raised the largest venture-backed fundraise of all time $6.6 billion— at a valuation of $157 billion.

It helps when you've fed a few that you've made by hand to start in the same thread for it to use as an example (and format), along with one of your resumes. Then copy and paste the job description and have it generate a cover letter for you.

Keep it all in one massive thread, if it makes a mistake, correct it and tell it to apply those changes to future ones as well (in my case it kept saying I had over ten years of experience when in actually I just had ten, so I had to correct that behavior).

Since it's an AI it will sometimes hallucinate, this usually happens if there are terms in the job description that aren't in your resume... either have it regenerate (if it will take more than a few minutes to edit) or strip out the offending sentences. Some will need very little editing, especially if the job description closely aligns with what you have on your resume.

Oh and be polite because it now knows all your skills and can probably murder you in your sleep lol

Thanks, I'm guessing the benefit of subscribing is to create that persistent relationship. The free version from MS that I'm using times out after a while. I definitely get the problem of it making up experience for me when it encounters something in a job description that isn't referenced anywhere in my info. Honestly, I'd probably get more interviews if I just let it make up stuff, but I'm guessing that might become a problem for me later. :)
