All these resets are given because of rival competition. When they win the market, we are going to be squeezed $$$.

Can anyone explain how you “win” the market of super intelligence? Particularly with open weights models now rivaling the frontier, it seems like a race to the bottom even if the prices don’t yet reflect that.

AGI will be insanely priced. LLMs are retarded childrin compared to proper intelligence. So this is just the entry level intelligence like thing. But I doubt there will be an AGI accessible by anyone.

This feels a lot like free spins in slot machines. I have a friend obsessed with using up all the Fable usage which supposedly ends today. He's doing a lot of stuff of questionable usefulness just because it's a resource perceived as scarce.

AI in general is a slot machine and it wouldn't surprise me if that was a large part of the psychosis. You prompt the lever, watch the display spin, and sometimes, just sometimes, a bunch of coins come out.

tbf they turned previous ChatGPT macOS app into Codex, so getting a "new" Codex user might mean someone using ChatGPT just updated their app.

I don’t even know what Codex is anymore and at this point I’m too afraid to ask. I remember the days when it was a VSCode extension.

Didn’t they also name their new hardware product Codex?

I have an inkling of a feeling that this generosity is a stunt only to help juice the growth and “story” specifically for the IPO… Best use the AI subsidies while you can!

Which seems a bit off to me. Can they even ipo right now due to the apple business?

Although I don't think you're wrong. The number of "organic" social media posts I've seen in the past few weeks of the form: 'Wow, Anthropic users are ugly losers...nothing like those handsome openai tiger blood winner sages' is simply too high in my mind for anything other than an ipo prelude.

[Also are altman and musk really fighting on x? Like, that's got to be a sign of some sort of internal stressors right?]

I’m not sure if resets require that much compute, maybe a few whales will use the service a bit more right after a reset. What matters more is the money, as they’re giving away free usage, and subsidising subscription users even more.

It’s a false idea that a reset “gives you more”. You don’t get any more tokens post reset than before. If you were consuming faster than your allowance before the reset then you probably end up with some free usage, but most people are not likely so far over their pro-rata limit that it’s a huge cost for OpenAI. What it does incentivise is pushing more usage in case there’s a reset-generating additional demand. Proba…

I think GPT 6 will be OpenAI's response to Fable/Mythos. There are (baseless) rumours that it will be coming fairly soon.

I would expect them to grow faster than 1 million users a day in that case, since chatGPT has almost a billion users. Maybe everyone's just using the web app or mobile?

I was using the web app. Don't see any reason to use anything else for basic chat. Not having access to my computer is a feature

As someone who just used computer use to successfully perform a "change of address" across 52 different services, hard disagree. It's magic.

We’re at the gamification stage of motivating people to use your product, eh?

Permafable got announced earlier this week, but definitely the slot machine feel is real.

What do you mean by Permafable?
