I really don't see how they're going to be google here. The free tier is dominated by verticle integration and the platform that people use. Long term I imagine google wins the bottom of the market and I'd be suprised if they lost.

If we could show the current models to someone like Alan Turing, I am sure he would conclude that we have AGI.

Ads work when you can server $.01 worth of ads to a user for $.0001 of server cost. I fail to see how you can make it work when doing LLM inference which is significantly costlier than web search.
My mission is world conquest. I'm writing a comment on an HN thread.
No, those two clauses have no relation whatsoever. I just felt like saying the first sentence because it sounded cool.
Giving free ChatGPT users access to reasoning (the 'Think' toggle) will have a broader impact on the world than every new paid model and coding agent combined.
Free users have had access to reasoning for a while. o4-mini and the initial GPT-5 launch both included reasoning modes for free users. They took away the button a few months ago and are now putting it back.
Perhaps I should have said "proper access".

The _Intelligence_ part of AGI should be able to guide the user through that without all the knobs.
intelligence is not omniscience though

Terra is awful and not cheap enough to make up for it. I'd suggest using luna or sol.
So Luna is more awful but it's OK because it's cheaper?
Both models are cheap enough that I can run 4 sessions at the same time without running out of the 20 USD codex and 10 USD Opencode plan. I've burned through almost a billion tokens this week and I've done some pretty big refactors as well.
I have a Claude Max subscription but I've barely been using it because of the many issues they've had this week.
I wonder if they actually do it to optimize inference. I maintain a corporate AI server and one of the tricks to reduce the load was to modify the system prompt to be as terse as possible so the average response completes faster and requests queue up less often.

Some people want quick results. Some people want it to keep searching for a new math proof overnight without giving up, and they have money to burn. It seems like giving it a time limit or a budget in dollars would be clearer, though? Or, keep searching until I come back to the computer and ask about progress.
