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’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.
