I will not be buying intelligence from that weirdo lizard. Because I am unfortunately literate.

He is enshittfying it before it has even taken off
Scary to think what the actually enshittified version will be like...
It could go bust first. The reason he's talking so much is because he needs the attention to hide the fact that OpenAI doesn't really have any real advantage anymore. Claude models tend to be faster and Chinese models tend to be cheaper (especially since they're open weight so there are many providers for any given model if you can't or don't want to self host. You can get latest Qwen for a tenth of the price of latest GPT on openrouter right now. Even Claude Opus is marginally cheaper than GPT.
Oh okay, now I get why they made it so easy for student to let Ai do their work; they want the generation to rely on them
First hit's free, man
Back in the day...
- "Google, what's playing at the cinema this evening at 9PM?". "The Amazing Spiderman". In the near future...
- "Google, what's playing at the cinema this evening at 9PM?". "That'll be $4.95.".
It feels weird thinking of the amazing Spiderman as "back in the day" when I remember the Toby McGuire Spiderman films.
This gets worse and worse as time goes on. Movies like Superbad seem like they just came out a few years ago but is actually about to be 20 years old. The Toby Maguire Spiderman is about to turn 25 years old, a quarter century!
And then it tells you what was in the cinema at the point the AI was trained.
They can search the Internet now. Would be ironic if Google's model was worse at googling than some random open weight models I've downloaded lol
My homelab say otherwise
Exactly what i was thinking but i find this molester moron insulting for even daring to say that to our face.

Imagine a world with no libraries, no internet search, no wiki.... They turn it all off after gobbling it all up, just to sell it back, because they end up with all information, for sale.
Wiki's and Libraries have never been profitable and always existed just outside the capitalists control. Or rather, tolerated. They may get hidden from mainstream view on commercial platforms, but they can't fully kill them, only drive them underground. Even if they try that, the more people that know about them, the safer they get.
is he for real?
his eye 1/2 his face is drooping so much, he had to of had a stroke.
Every capitalist is a conman.
The only capitalist that isnt, is a socialist

I can't wait to lance the AI bubble like a doggone perineal abscess.
Another desperate attempt to monetize. AI bubble-burst, here we come!
I cant believe it hasnt burst yet, so artificially held together by hopes, dreams, and unhealthy amounts of soulless cash...
Literally the future capitalism has always wanted; all common resources seized from the public for the good of private equity.
The dude changes his pricing model everytime he's interviewed. Dude has no idea what he wants to do, so long as it's billable.

ever since feudalism fell, dipshits all over the world have had one thing in mind: bring it back. now they're almost there. and the peasants are all too ready to give it back.
There's a name for that already: technofeudalism.

I was heartened by college graduates booing these assholes.
That's not going to happen no matter what. Open source models are already catching up to frontier proprietary models. Altman wishes he had a monopoly over that, but he doesn't. The bubble won't last, and things like OpenRouter will become the main way people use AI. Google alone is a major reason why intelligence will never be like a utility like electricity or water or internet.

Yeah? hows that panning out so far?
lol no they won't. People aren't using it free.
I’m not anti-AI, but anti whatever fresh hell they are unloading unto the masses. This is something that requires careful planning to ensure we don’t devastate resources or stall critical think skills and knowledge.
This is one of the hardest points for me to articulate, trying to convince everyday folks including families and friends that these Technologies are actively making us dumber.
Wiring up a solar and battery array, and then wiring up an entire miniature rack mount full of tech myself using 'AI' was absolutely critical in understanding the Nuance between different products and between different wiring schemes, but I realized after about 3 months that I was spending at least 15 times a day asking about the ampacity of different wire gauges ("how much current can this gauge of wire carry safely? What about that gauge of wire?") Before I finally just made a table of common wire gauges in both aluminum and copper, and then printed it out and tacked it onto my wall like it was still 1997.
I reduced my net time spent querying by at least 20% in the past month by looking at my patterns.
This isn't a brag. This is me admitting that I got stupid and then I'm forgetting the power isn't knowing stuff but in having that knowledge at our fingertips, and that asking some mega Data Center two states away to boil half their freshwater and brown out half their town so that I can be told that I really do have to up my wiring material, makes me feel gross.

Americans will buy on a inch!
The wording also struck a nerve because many AI models were trained on enormous amounts of publicly available internet data such as books, articles, forums and creative work created by millions of people who were never directly compensated.
That's much too kind. We were never indirectly compensated, either.

they're pretty up front about it. They want to gatekeep knowledge so they can monetize it and control the labor.

It's not intelligence
Its the vast, free resource of the internet. Mined, paywalled, repackaged and sold back to you at a premium by rent seeking talentless hacks
