If Twitter ran for decades on a loss, so will OpenAI. Worst case scenario they get completely absorbed by MS and have the bill footed by them. Kind of what happened with Youtube.
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.
That’s definitely part of the truth. However, something as valuable as OpenAI would still be worth paying for for some tech giant that can afford it.
Maybe before they just decided they could make it bigger without much refinement and now have a completely shit system that's just a glorified chat bot with a high ego to assert its false knowledge.
I don’t think that’s true. Maybe ChatGPT is a glorified chatbot, but their GPT-4 stuff is pretty good.
Gpt 4 is more convincing without any less hallucinations, it's not better its worse due to that fact.
