It seems you are one of the most active contributors there. I would sincerely have understood better (and even wished) if OpenAI made you a very generous offer to you personally as an individual contributor than choose a strategy where the

If you are a company based in Europe it is silly to give your data security and privacy to a company based in Europe. If you are in Iran, you don't want to give your data to your government. If you are in France, you don't want to

The best solution is through education. For example by showing in big letters the return-to-player ratio: On 100 EUR you will get → 79 back, if you put them again in the machine you will get → 62.41 → 49.30 → 38.95 → 30.77…

Pretty sure the solution that US politicians will find will be to create new dollars out of thin air, so instead of increasing taxes they increase the money supply. Of course this is going to increase prices, but then they can blame China &

If tomorrow Claude pricing changes and they start charging real API costs like 2000+ USD, and there is another service: "NotReallyClaude" that is a bit less good but 200 USD, then what would you do ?

Welcome to Claude Code; 200 USD at Claude, versus 3000 USD (literally) at Gemini. Well, then it will be Claude. If tomorrow Claude is 5000 USD, well, then it will be Gemini.

I have no idea what your sentence means (as a non-English native) but I feel you. Such a waste of burnt money that could be used for more useful projects.

But will you have a choice once they enter the indexes ? People are automatically going to invest into that (circular) pyramid scheme.

They have a product but it’s a commodity now. They are in the business of selling compute / datacenter rack spaces. A server where you pay per GBs transferred in/out. If it’s Gemini or GPT behind, for most use cases users wouldn’t
