Investors are barely breaking even as the venture is hardly making any profits due to a shortage of chips, divided interests, and more.
… OpenAI has already seen a $540 million loss since debuting ChatGPT.
… OpenAI uses approximately 700,000 dollars to run the tool daily.
⚠️ First off, apologies as I didn’t cross check. Take it w/ a grain of salt.
This piece of news, if true, somehow explains why OpenAI has been coming up w/ weird schemes for making $$$ like entering the content moderation space.
On a similar note, I wonder if this had been a key driver (behind the scenes) in the recent investment in open source AI initiatives (Haidra comes to my mind?) Perhaps some corporations who haven’t got enough $$$ to fund their own dedicated research group are looking to benefit from an open source model?

That was a quick bubble
These new schemes seem to burst more and more quickly. I’m pretty sure someone wrote something about it in some books i wish I’d read so I’d understand this phenomenon <img alt="thinkin-lenin" src="https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/cc7e95a8-2de0-4fcb-823c-db5b7e923093.png">
People already forgot about those stupid chimp pictures. Except for the idiots that bought them.
To be fair i think part of that is because people don’t even realize you can use multiple juices on a single ape
This remains evergreen for me. <img alt="chefs-kiss" src="https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/82365864-94da-46a6-acf9-c38da1519c3d.png">
Sorry to say, I would take this with grain of salt. Not making profits is part of business model of these pioneering companies. Google, Amazon and Uber (etc) were in the negatives for so many years and they absorbed the losses in order to be the dominant brands where at the end users become dependent on them. At that point they’ll start to charge exorbitantly and forcefully add unneeded features that will exert more control upon their users but there’s nothing that they can do but pay, for the simple fact that they can’t do without them.
It’s kinda hilarious how many people are swallowing this article without any salt whatsoever.
Uber has never turned a profit for 14 years. I’m guessing it’s windows central who is facing bankruptcy, intellectually speaking.
Didn’t Uber recently have its first profitable quarter?
It did indeed.

Ad bots on Lemmy? Lol
If Twitter ran for decades on a loss, so will OpenAI. Worst case scenario they get completely absorbed by MS and have the bill footed by them. Kind of what happened with Youtube.
One of the reasons tech companies were able to operate for a long time at a loss was due to interest rates being really low.
I think the increased interest rates are the reason for twitter, reddit, and other companies trying to monetize harder.
I could be wrong, I am not an economist. This is just the kind of stuff, I have read in other subs.
That’s definitely part of the truth. However, something as valuable as OpenAI would still be worth paying for for some tech giant that can afford it.
Maybe before they just decided they could make it bigger without much refinement and now have a completely shit system that’s just a glorified chat bot with a high ego to assert its false knowledge.
I don’t think that’s true. Maybe ChatGPT is a glorified chatbot, but their GPT-4 stuff is pretty good.
Gpt 4 is more convincing without any less hallucinations, it’s not better its worse due to that fact.
