Sam’s reply on twitter[0] no thank you but we will buy twitter for $9.74 billion if you want [0] https://x.com/sama/status/1889059531625464090 ?

I don't like petty internet arguments, I can't help appreciate him referring to it as Twitter.

With first mover advantage disappearing for OpenAI and very good alternatives appearing, one wonders how long they can sustain a multi billion dollar per year loss[0].

The launch of ChatGPT was earth shaking, but what have they done since that impacts or excites the average consumer? Does their revenue even come from the average consumer, or primarily from API users that will lift and shift to a viable competitor?

I don't know, but I'm very curious to see how they can hold their lead and be attractive in the longer term.

This doesn't seem to have anything to do with bluesky. What connection are you trying to draw?

There are a lot of bluesky users who really hate Musk and they post a lot whenever he does anything.

I don't think there are a lot of Bluesky users to begin with.

Do you really think Musk actually does anything of value?

Probably nothing technical but he certainly does provide huge value as a brand and IMHO he is irreplaceable. Who else can convince very rich people invest gargantuan amounts of money into moonshot projects?

If he died tomorrow nothing would change. Sam Altman would just rush in to be the next money playboy with idiosyncrasies.

OpenAI is not worth more than 9.74 billion, considering their moat is steadily shrinking and their models aren't even open. Even if OpenAI produces their chips via TSMC, it means that at least AMD can do the same, if not anyone else with just 100 million to spend.

You must be a supreme court justice if you can’t tell the difference between a company and a person!
