That $7 trillion dollar ask pushed me from skeptical to full-on eye-roll emoji land— the dude is clearly a narcissist with delusions of grandeur— but it’s getting worse. Considering the $200 pro subscription was significantly unprofitable before this model came out, imagine how astonishingly expensive this model must be to run at many times that price.

- freehorse 2y agoOr, the model is nowhere as expensive as in the api pricing and they want to pump the user value of their pro subscription artificially?
- j_maffe 2y agoMost people can evaluate whether the model improvements (or lack thereof) are worth the price tag
- DonHopkins 2y agoSell an unlimited premium enterprise subscription to every CyberTruck owner, including a huge red ostentatious swastika-shaped back window sticker [but definitely NOT actually an actual swastika, merely a Roman Tetraskelion Strength Symbol] bragging about how much they're spending.
- chefandy 2y agoConsidering that’s the exact opposite of their strategy to date, and they haven’t done anything to indicate that was the case, and they talked about how huge and expensive the model was to run, that is the less reasonable assumption by a mile.
- freehorse 2y agoIt is true that this does not seem to be their strategy, but the previous strategy to date was actually showing measurable improvements and specific applications, not "vibes". What I said is far-fetched, but still I fail to understand the whole point here, because they do not really explain it. But maybe we just hit the point that the improvement of performance hit the slowing down part of a logistic curve, while the cost keeps increasing exponentially.
- chefandy 2y agoWell, we could ‘maybe’ ourselves to a lot of admirable explanations but lacking specific evidence that any of them are true, Occam’s Razor is the most reasonable way to evaluate this. In the very recent past Altman had shown no meaningful attempt to make this company sustainable. He has worked to increase its growth rate, but that’s a very different goal.
