To the contrary, of course you should know.
If you know anything about tech businesses, you know that startups being funded by massive amounts of VC keep prices artificially low initially, and that they then rise.
This is tech startup 101 stuff.
It's fine if you're not aware of this as an engineer. But if you're building a business and therefore have a business model where you've identified known risks, there's no excuse for you not to be aware of it.
- IanCal 2y agoI know that it happens, but that's different from knowing of it's happening here or not, and by how much. Is openai selling below cost? Is the cost on azure lower than the true cost? ChatGPT free is obviously run subsidized but are the apis? Can you tell me the actual cost to Microsoft of a gpt4 API call?
