There is the old silicon valley saying "This is a feature, not a product". Translated to the new AI age this is the moment were many startups will realize that what they were building wasn't a product but just a feature extension of chatGPT.
I hope no one will be disappointed, who has done a good job as an employee suddenly finding himself replaced by a snippet of code, after the weights have been sufficiently adjusted. It's like slurping the very last capital a worker has out of its mind and soul. Most companies exist to make a profit, not to employ humans. Paired with the pseudo-mocked-tech-bro self-peddling BS this announcement reads like dystopia to…
> technology should empower users (for real, by giving them more control) not increase power imbalances Technology should make life easier. Automation is good.
A totalitarian state can make your life very comfortable with technology. Wanna trade for freedom?
Automation is the best, if the majority can benefit from it.

It depends. We once were quoted 300K/year by a SaaS company. We replied by saying that our budget is 20K. "Fair enough, we'll take that".
I don't know if that's a smart way to bypass pesky hidden information negotiations and suss out other party's upper bound or a really stupid way to do business...
A lot of value in some SaaS apps is in the initial investment it took to build it, not in the cost to host a customer's assets.
If the runtime costs of a new customer are negligible, would you rather have 0K or 20K?

It's exactly opposite. The entire point of an enterprise option would be that you DO train it on corporate data, securely. So the #1 feature is actually missing, yet is announced as in the works.
Coca Cola doesn’t want to train a model that can be bought by Pepsi.

Honestly, I can see it, but there are definitely SOME jobs at risk, and it will almost certainly reduce hiring in junior positions.
I am a manager in a dev team. I have a small team and too many plates spinning, and I’ve been crying out for more hires for years.
I moved to using AI a lot more. ChatGPT and Copilot for general dev stuff, and I’m experimenting with local llama-based models too. It’s not that Im getting these things to fill any one role, but to reduce the burden on the roles we have. Honestly, as things stand, I’m not crying out for more hires any more.

You probably wouldn't want that, you'd want to integrate with your data for lookups but rarely for training a new model.
Companies want to dump all their Excels in it and get insights that no human could produce in any reasonable amount of time.
Companies want to dump a zillion help desk tickets into and gain meaningful insights from it.
Companies want to dump all their Sharepoints and Wikis into it that currently nobody can even find or manage, and finally have functioning knowledge search.
You absolutely want a privately trained company model.

At the bottom, in their coming soon section: "Customization: Securely extend ChatGPT’s knowledge with your company data by connecting the applications you already use"
Great now chatgpt can train on outdated documents from the 2000s, provide more confusion to new people, and give us more headaches
