Sam Altman made his stake at the table with a shady and failed location data harvesting app ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loopt ). That's who he is, that's what he does, and we're all better off paying less attention to the sounds he emits, and more to the things he does.
> the things he does. The things he does is convince investors to give him billions of dollars to build what he wants. Where exactly does that leave us?
A fool and his money shall soon be parted. Sam is a face. If it wasnt him, it would be someone else.

#474This was inevitable since Antropic made a fortune by releasing single app with only text generation business. They did best code generator and targeted developers and enterprise users. OpenAI did only 1.5 million dollars from Sora which is obviously far from profitable. So it is logical to assign GPU time to more profitable business.

#476Burning $15m a day. It was impossible for it to ever be profitable. Reminds of tech bubble 1.

It is the last narrative that some of Wall Street believes and has enough mediocre or senile coders to promote it. That narrative will implode like Sora later this year.
No, AI is truly useful in software engineering. I was a skeptic until I started using it. No, it isn’t going to solve every problem out there, but it’s a force multiplier.
You pay understanding for speed. How much this trade is acceptable is up to you and the task you have in front of you. I cannot recommend it as a general solution.

#478Good riddance. Less slop machines the better.

Hosting videos is really expensive. AI video generation inference is really expensive. I'd love to see how much money this experiment cost.
So much that they walked away from a billion dollar deal with Disney by dropping Sora.
It's not clear to me what that billion dollar meant.
To me it seems it was "Disney gets shares and we get to use their characters in Sora".
Even if Sora breaks even, why would you gift Disney stock? It's not like they actual gave 1B to openai.
