I wonder who will be the first to bite the bullet and try charging different rates for LLM inference depending on whether it's for commercial purposes. Enforcement would be a nightmare but they'd probably try to throw AI at that a

And Altman said their $200/mo plan still ultimately loses them money, so expect the level of service you get for that amount to eventually go down, and even more expensive subscriptions to slot in above.

If you use a custom domain, in the dashboard you can claim the whole domain and then see every breach for every address under it. Otherwise I don't think so.

It doesn't really make sense to trust what OpenAI and friends say about this either, when admitting to any kind of scaling limits would go against the narrative propping up their multi-hundred-billion-dollar valuations. I guess we'

Even if crypto is the only viable way to do this, doing it with their own memecoin instead of something that's already well established is a massive red flag. That means they can easily pre-mine vast amounts of their token for effect
