Working on this take:

Aside from stitching together a bigger and bigger trenchcoat, has open AI done anything else? Just goes to show how vacuous LLMs are if this is what it takes to catch up/outpace them.

I must’ve read the words “Jevon’s Paradox” a hundred times today, I didn’t realize that many people had their livelihood predicated on NVidia going to the moon forevermore.

Servers must be having a hell of a time since I can’t get a verification code sent to my email 😆

Like, it’s not even THAT much better. I mean, not so much so that everyone should flood it lmao. The main plus was no restriction on tokens used, but that’s useless when it’s getting overloaded all the time.

I would say it’s just barely noticeably better than the free tier of GPT. Which makes it a little annoying to go back but w/e.

Not people who can’t afford 100k to spin up their own servers. It’s going to be a game changer for AI startups and such though who won’t have to spend as much as previously thought.

edit: Basically, numbers out of my ass, but it’s like they reduced the amount you have to spend to get chatgpt-level output from $500k to $100k. Amazing and all, definitely newsworthy, but uh… not directly relevant for us little folk, more about the ripple effects

SoftBank, one of the big backers behind Stargate, is notorious for WeWork-level funding disasters — but five days from floating the idea to the crash might be a new record.
