This is going to sound weird but so is the internet their icon suggests a chain of bodies eating out the ass of the one in front of them which to me seems apt for the product

Stop depending on these proprietary LLMs. Go to [email protected].

There are open-source LLMs you can run on your own computer if you have a powerful GPU. Models like OLMo and Falcon are made by true non-profits and universities, and they reach GPT-3.5 level of capability.

There are also open-weight models that you can run locally and fine-tune to your liking (although these don’t have open-source training data or code). The best of these (Alibaba’s Qwen, Meta’s llama, Mistral, Deepseek, etc.) match and sometimes exceed GPT 4o capabilities.

Well, apart from the people like me who thought they had always been one because they acted exactly like one.

Didnt they do this like a year ago

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Yes, but I don't think they made a profit so giving it another go

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Lol like it wasn't always.

Open to All Income.

There was never another outcome.

Capitalism breeds one thing, and it certainly isn't innovation, and it most definitely isnt not-for-profit innovation.

Hahaha. April 1st is early this year.
They are never going to make enough money by selling licenses and subscriptions for the cost of their current models (smarter people than me have made good estimates), let alone the future ones. Those future models are at a much worse performance-cost ratio. Ads will at best bring in about 1 usd per user per month (estimated by Facebook revenue and number of users) - double or triple it just for lolz, and they would still be losing money.
So… how will this be pulled off? Only wrong answers!

Have a partnership with Microsoft and ship Windows 12 as the new "AI only" OS. Every command must go through ChatGPT to work. Then push updates to older Win11 OS to make them unusable.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

From what I've heard, they don't need to push updates to achieve that

How fast are they burning money right now?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Based on their funding rounds, $10 billion lasts about 18 months.

So about $555 million per month.

I thought they were a for-profit company all this time.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Pretty much non-profit in name only. Some shady hybrid model.

So the development of inorganic intelligence, considered by many as an inflection point in human civilisation is to be handed to business graduates who are historically proven to be capable of any level of atrocity in the name of corporate greed. America, fuck yeah.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

What do you mean by "inorganic intelligence," exactly? Do you think openai has already achieved it?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago

Actually corporations themselves are 99% of what people fear about AGI already in their inhuman decisionmaking to the detriment of humanity.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

As if any other group did not prove that just as much, if not more so.

[–] [email protected] 75 points 1 week ago (1 children)

~~America~~ Greed, fuck yeah.

Don't fool yourself. The USA lost the exclusivity deal on unchecked corpo greed a long time ago. This is a global issue now.

Yeah, the American tag was just a throwaway line, greed unchecked, insane and self-harming has always been with us. We let it sit with us around our camp fires like wolves but unlike wolves we never tamed it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Then again, the US and China are basically the only players in this "game" atm. Hugging Face is trying hard to get the EU on-boarded, and I'm sure we'll see more contenders. But right now it's a 2-player game.

I think western interests at least are beginning to detach from nation states.

They should also change their name to ClosedAI while they're at it.

[–] [email protected] 105 points 1 week ago (2 children)

"ClosedAI" rebrand when?

🤣

'subtle' product recommendations

I'm Open AI and this is my favorite shop in the Citadel.
