Their story (valuation) hinges on it - therefore that’s their investment thesis when raising money.

We need to create a special place where people who ‘get it’ congregate.

Sadly this place is full of noise and people who don’t get the big picture - leading to the down voting of posts and continual drowning out of stuff closer to the truth by noise and hysteria.

OAI is on track to sit in the same category as Palantir as a brand and pretty much going to either work with Palantir or compete with them for the precious funding from the govt.

I know most of you here dont quite have the imagination to see it. But feel free to screenshot my post and lets talk in a year ;)

And the machine came into existence all on its own did it? Another absolutely stupid comment.

Do you people actually 'think' before posting, or, have you handed that off to LLMs entirely?

We should stop using any term that ascribes a description that could make them seem human... period.

Nonsensical terms like the thing is 'thinking'? Seriously. Cut the crap.

What's there to discuss? OAI is seeking a hand-out from the govt to save their asses. They (Sam + top-management) see the writing on the wall and need help.

I personally think humans make the mistake of thinking that we must create objects that emulate oneself. Imagination is tough, I know.

Does the computer 'memory' behave identically like human memory? Of course not. Does it look like the 'memory' of a human? Again, of course not.

I agree and for me personally this is very easy to see and understand.

Why do you think the vast majority of people fail to see it like this? Guys like Musk obvious hype it up as he now has tied the valuation of the firms he owns and operates to this story.

Yeah it takes awhile for investors to start actually valuing things, they usually 'price' them which is mainly driven by mood and momentum.

Given that pricing is the name of the game, all should be wary of what interests founders and their employees who are paid via stock based compensation...

Trying to create shortages etc is just typical Scam Altman behaviour and really speaks to how vulnerable he feels against Google's might.

There was a point where Google's existence was questioned, but they've been working away quietly and they'll win the long game. Altman viewed OAI as a way to reduce Google's AI dominance - I think when we look back in history it'll turn out he made it worse. Google wasn't all that interested in releasing LLMs out into the wild.

"They were valued last week at $700+ billion weren't they?" So?

The money they have available is what is on the balance sheet, which they are burning right-through whilst facing immense competition and never-ending reinvestment, given that Google will carry on doing so. Cash flows from operations is a big fat negative.

I see Google first killing OAI, then eventually doing the same to Anthropic, once they figure out a suite of products that truly revolutionises the work of a sofware engineer beyond just talking to a chat interface, and bundle it into their existing offerings for enterprise.

"I'm sure that OpenAI will continue to take over the world like before"

Each day that goes by Im more convinced OAI will not be a healthy going-concern without government help, which most likely will not be granted.

I very much believe something profound has happened in the era of ultra-convenience and social media etc. Its damaged the psyche of humans and the way they think. Invention and innovation will become less prevalant due to this.

Hes definitely no genius or visionary. A ruthless competitive s.o.b for sure.

Tim Cook: "If a business is built on misleading users, on data exploitation, on choices that are no choices at all, then it does not deserve our praise. It deserves reform."

That may be the one and only time he had some Steve Jobs spirit in him.

On this link:

"They don't want to see what their friends post — they want to be entertained."

I know hindsight is 20-20, but, given how much data Mark et al had at their disposal by 2021, its crazy to me they didnt realise people much prefer being entertained that that keeps them consuming content longer - than just simply observing whats going on with the people they know.

This is the essence of product development - creating objects that make you 'feel' something. I definitely feel something when reading through the chats in this interface vs another form.
