Can it really be called efficient in the capitalist sense until they figure out how to actually turn this stuff into a viable business? Apparently OpenAI is even losing money on the new $200/month tier.

- bberenberg 2y agoI believe they’re profitable on all unit economics other than the $200/month tier. The users who opt into this are the absolute “highest” users so you end up with an adverse selection issue with this plan.
- jsheard 2y agoThat doesn't seem to gel with the fact that they lost $5 billion overall last year, mostly before the $200 tier was even available.
- pottertheotter 2y agoThey said profitable unit economics, not profitable as a company.

- resource_waste 2y agoI have the local models, why am I supposed to care how a young company is wasting money?
- jsheard 2y agoEvery local model worth a damn is also the product of a company wasting money, so if you want better local models in the future then it's still your problem.
- resource_waste 2y agoLots of 'what ifs' but I still have these models on my computer.
