OpenAI said the structure will help it raise more money.

    No problem, after they release all the data collected under the excuse of public good and progress.

    They should also change their name to ClosedAI while they’re at it.

    So the development of inorganic intelligence, considered by many as an inflection point in human civilisation is to be handed to business graduates who are historically proven to be capable of any level of atrocity in the name of corporate greed. America, fuck yeah.

      Actually corporations themselves are 99% of what people fear about AGI already in their inhuman decisionmaking to the detriment of humanity.

      America Greed, fuck yeah.

      Don’t fool yourself. The USA lost the exclusivity deal on unchecked corpo greed a long time ago. This is a global issue now.

          Yeah, the American tag was just a throwaway line, greed unchecked, insane and self-harming has always been with us. We let it sit with us around our camp fires like wolves but unlike wolves we never tamed it.

            Then again, the US and China are basically the only players in this “game” atm. Hugging Face is trying hard to get the EU on-boarded, and I’m sure we’ll see more contenders. But right now it’s a 2-player game.

      What do you mean by “inorganic intelligence,” exactly? Do you think openai has already achieved it?

    Hahaha. April 1st is early this year.
    They are never going to make enough money by selling licenses and subscriptions for the cost of their current models (smarter people than me have made good estimates), let alone the future ones. Those future models are at a much worse performance-cost ratio. Ads will at best bring in about 1 usd per user per month (estimated by Facebook revenue and number of users) - double or triple it just for lolz, and they would still be losing money.
    So… how will this be pulled off? Only wrong answers!

          They don’t care if they earn money the next 5-7 years.

          And they will hit the point of a great model doing human work for less than a monthly salary. It’s just a matter of time.

            I’m incredulous.

            There was that thread asking what people are using LLMs for and it pretty much came down to “softening language in emails”.

            For most jobs LLMs can provide a small productivity bump.

            IMO if an LLM can do most of your job then you’re not producing much value anyway.

            Without enough funding, they absolutely will care.

            Thats between $33 billion and $47 billion at current costs. Someone needs to fund that.

            I’d also note that their models seem to be getting worse, with outright irrelevant answers, worse perfoemance, failures in following instructions, etc. Stanford and UC Berkeley did a months-long comparison, and even basic math is going downhill.

            LLMs are not advancing enough any more. There just isn’t any more useful human generated text to train new models on. The net is already full of AI generated slop. OpenAI currently spends 2.35 USD to make 1 USD. It’s fundamentally unsustainable.

              It costs 1 billion dollars to develop solar cells before they even sell the first product.

              The costed 100.000 dollars when starting to sell.

              They go for under 10 bucks per square today.

              And it’s like that for any technology ever invented.

                Yes, but solar cells are in the end very simple products made of very simple resources, with a limited task: concerting one type of energy into another. That said, there is still research in making them more efficient and cheaper, and the that research isn’t cheap.
                But generative AI / LLM takes an insane amount of resources to train and maintain, is complex to create, with a very complex task, and a slight increase in quality takes progressively more resources (like, say 10% better would be 50% more energy use - I don’t have the numbers anymore but iirc they were even worse). A better LLM would therefore be much, much more expensive while people are apparently already underwhelmed with the latest models. With the growing competition, fast rising costs and meagre quality updates, while already unable to financially sustain themselves right now, I truly don’t see it. Honestly, this is why I think Microsoft is cramming their subpar Copilot into everything - to sort of justify all the money they pumped into this.

      Have a partnership with Microsoft and ship Windows 12 as the new “AI only” OS. Every command must go through ChatGPT to work. Then push updates to older Win11 OS to make them unusable.

    There was never another outcome.

    Capitalism breeds one thing, and it certainly isn’t innovation, and it most definitely isnt not-for-profit innovation.
