Don’t they mean to say “replacing the entire U.S. federal workforce with ChatGPT”? Surely that is the future everyone is looking to.
I'd rather interact with an AI than federal workers 80% of the time.

What is the strategy, in your view? Maybe something like this? -- 1. All government employees get access to ChatGPT 2. ChatGPT increasingly becomes a part of people's daily workflows and cognitive toolkit. 3. As the price increases, ChatGPT will be too embedded to roll back. 4. Over time, OpenAI becomes tightly integrated with government work and "too big to fail": since the government relies on OpenAI, OpenAI must s…
Do you view Microsoft as too big to fail because of the federal governments use of Office?
honestly I think of Microsoft was going to go bankrupt they probably would get treated like Boeing, yeah.

#34Right now AI is in the grow at all costs phase. So for the most part access to AI is way cheaper than it will be in the next 5-10 years. All these companies will eventually have to turn a profit. Once that happens, they'll be forced to monetize in whatever way they can. Enterprise will obviously have higher subscriptions. But I'm predicting for non-enterprise that eventually ads will be added in some way. What's scar…

That evidently won't be the case as you can see with the recent open model announcements...

Google has been doing this since May.

Yes, but the federal government uses far more than just Office.
Microsoft is very far from being at risk of failing, but if it did happen, I think it's very likely that the government keeps it alive. How much of a national security risk is it if every Windows (including Windows Server) system stopped getting patches?

What's up with these ai companies? Lab A announces major news, B and C follow about one hour later. This is only possible if those follow the same bizarre marketing strategy to wrap up news and advancements in a secure safe until they need to pack it out after competitor made first move.

Do these model releases really matter to cost if the hardware is still so very expensive and Nvidia still has a defacto monopoly? I can't buy x8 H100s to run a model and whatever company I buy AI access from has to pay for them somehow.

#39AI literacy is abysmal. The UX pushed onto people is part of the problem.
I don’t feel good about 4o conducting government work.

Not sure if this is a real question but yes, I think Microsoft is too big to fail.
