- amelius 2y agoNot sure about that. ChatGPT is much greater than Google Search ever was, and that wasn't a bubble.
- stackskipton 2y agoChatGPT may be better than Google Search in content but at end of day, you have to make money and last report I saw, ChatGPT is burning through money at prestigious rate.
- scarmig 2y agoTraining, yes, but they recoup inference costs through subscriptions.
- dartos 2y agoDidn’t Altman say they’re losing money on the $200 subscription tier? Inference isn’t cheap either.
- Davidzheng 2y agosubscriptions are just to sustain them until the endgame
- Davidzheng 2y agoreminds me of a scene from the Matrix. "Tell me Mr. Anderson, what use is a phone call when you can't speak"
- dwnw 2y agoNot sure about that.
- fuzztester 2y agococks ear ... can hear it poppin already
- riku_iki 2y agoinitiators will cash out by that time one way or another
- Der_Einzige 2y agoThe folks who listen to you and don't see the fact that we are entering a weak singularity deserve to be destitute when this is all over.
- dartos 2y ago“Weak singularity” meaning what? Technology advancing more quickly year over year? That’s a crazy notion and I’ll be sure everyone knows. Also, what a wild thing to say. “People like you deserve to live in poverty because you don’t think we live in a sci-fi world.” Calm down, dude.
- lmm 2y ago> “Weak singularity” meaning what? > Technology advancing more quickly year over year? > That’s a crazy notion and I’ll be sure everyone knows. The version I heard from an economist was something akin to a second industrial revolution, where the pace of technological development increases permanently. Imagine a transition from Moore's law-style doubling every year and a half, to doubling every week and a half. That wouldn't be a true "singularity" (nothing would be infinite), but it would be a radical change to our lives.
- dartos 2y agoThe pace of technological development has always been permanently increasing. We’ve always been getting better at making things better.
- lmm 2y ago> The pace of technological development has always been permanently increasing. Not in the same way though. The pace of technological development post-industrial-revolution increased a lot faster - technological development was exponential both before and after, but it went from exponential with a doubling time of maybe a century, to a Moore's law style regime where the doubling time is a couple of years. Arguably the development of agriculture was a similar phase change. So the point is to imagine another phase change on the same scale.
