It seems obvious, they are burning through Microsoft's money for now (it was said these chatbots cost way more to run than they make profit) to capture the market and be able to get thick margins later.
- qwytw 3y ago> it was said these chatbots cost way more to run than they make profit Well if it's running on Azure and using massively overpriced Nvidia data center GPUs I can't imagine anything else would be possible. Then again it's not like there any incentive for OpenAI to increase efficiency as long they get 'free' Azure credits (and it's not like the real cost for MS is anything close to what they are supposedly investing into OpenAI. IRRC that 10 billion was mainly not in actual money)
- throwaway290 3y agoThe incentive surely comes from Microsoft, they didn't invest with no expectation of ROI:)
