Pricing ChatGPT Pro at $200/mo filters it to only power users/enterprise, and given the cost of the GPT-o1 API, it wouldn't surprise me if those power users burn through $200 worth of compute very, very quickly.

#42With the release of Nova earlier this week thats even cheaper (I havent had a chance to really play with it yet to see how good it is) ive been thinking more about what happens when intelligence gets "too cheap to meter", but this def feels like a step in the other direction! Still though, if you were able to actually utilize this, is it capable of replacing a part-time or full-time employee? I think thats likely
I see you mean Amazon's Nova - https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/aws/amazon-nova-artificial-...

#43I do wonder what effect this will have on furthering the divide between the "rich West" and the rest of the world. If everyone in the West has powerful AI and Agents to automate everything. Simply because we can afford it, but the rest of the world doesn't have access to it. What will that mean for everyone left behind?
We don't have a post-cold war era response akin to the kind of US led investment in a global pact to provide protection, security, and access to innovation founded in the United States. We really need to prioritize a model akin to the Bretton Woods Accord

Re: ChatGPT Pro
#46The price feels outrageous, but I think the unsaid truth of this is that they think o1 is good enough to replace employees. For example, if it's really as good at coding as they say, I could see this being a point where some people decide that a team of 5 devs with o1 pro can do the work of 6 or 7 devs without o1 pro.

#47I am using more Claude.ai these days, but the limitations for paying accounts do apply to ChatGPT as well. I find it a terrible business practice to be completely opaque and vague about limits. Even worse, the limits seem to be dynamic and change all the time. I understand that there is a lot of usage happening, but most likely it means that the $20 per month is too cheap anyway, if an average user like myself can so…
It’s insane to me that they don’t have a “pay $10 to have this temporary limit lifted” micro transaction model. They are leaving money on the table.

#49The main difficulty when pricing a monthly subscription for "unlimited" usage of a product is the 1% of power users who use have extreme use of the product that can kill any profit margins for the product as a whole.

I’ve seen it be a minor productivity boost, and not much more.
