So Spam Altham admits in the first paragraph they are bringing ADS to ChatGPT and then whines about his competition the rest of the article.

#43I will never understand these chronically online CEOs. Your company has given up its massive lead in AI and is falling further behind Google and Anthropic with every passing day and you have nothing better to do than fight ego battles with random people on X all day? Should be a clear signal to the board that there needs to be a shake up at the top.
It's influencer marketing. These 'ego battles' are a show to keep their brand in front of you. It's engaging like reality television. This is very valuable, especially for companies that need to fund their growth through investment and grants.

#44Anthropic’s strategy is weird, they may not be inserting ads today but I am sure this is where they will end up if they get enough volume of users. So saying “not to Claude” is putting them in the same plane as google’s “do no evil”. They will walk it back sooner or later.
they won’t walk it back cause no one will remember it

#45“ we believe access creates agency” Whose agency? Ads are designed to reduce agency. It’s a red queen’s race from there. It leads to a high level of optimized manipulation and intrusiveness. That was one of the core points of anthropic’s article. sama is right that anthropic’s and openai’s businesses are differently shaped. Thank goodness for that.
Maybe Altman is talking about creating ad agencies?

#46Earlier quoted context omitted.
No ads on Wikipedia tho, not even after 25 years.
The first fundraising banner on wikipedia was in 2003. That is unquestionably an advertisement, and not even an ethical one given the misleading nature of their campaigns these days.
never thought I’d see fundraising compared to ads but here we are… :)

#47> Anthropic serves an expensive product to rich people. We are glad they do that and we are doing that too, but we also feel strongly that we need to bring AI to billions of people who can’t pay for subscriptions.
But they are paying, aren't they?
Advertisements don't generate money from thin air. Advertisements cause people to spend money they otherwise would not have spent. That's why companies buy ads in the first place.
And if you're showing ads to poor people, you're probably causing them to spend money they don't have.

I wish more people were as astute.
The front matter of big politics and big tech is not too different from professional wrestling.

This is hilarious. I did not know until now. Black mirror episode for this era is staying with ads :)

They already got a clear signal when they fired him. It's baffling that they did an about face when the red flags were all there.
