And Netflix follows suit. You think you can escape the ads? Think again.

Yes we can. Pirate the stuff, they try to block it? Use a seedbox. Same goes for AI. This will accelerate options for private hosted AI. Which I guess will happen eventually anyway once cheap hardware gets to a state where you can run X model size at home for cheap. As always its the people in the know that have the upper hand. The mass user base does not have this knowledge unfortunately. They might just stop using…

Most people don’t do this and won’t start

All of these "farewell ChatGPT then!" and "they have no moat anyway" comments here are very strange. Does anyway even remember when Google used to not have ads? The introduction of ads was seen as crazy, yet nobody stopped using Google. People who say there's no moat should spend 5 minutes on social media. A big meme going around is "sure, show my wife or even the general public my most personal and intimate chats an…

People watching tons of ads on streaming services to save a few dollars a month is proof enough that ads aren't going to deter your average person.

And people watching ads even after they paid for the service is even more telling.

> This move could disrupt the web economy, as what most people don't understand is that GPT likely knows more about users than Google.

What most people don’t understand is the sheer depth of what Google knows about you. Much much more than what one can directly tell ChatGPT. Heck Google probably knows an user better than herself.

At least those are obvious. Them sneaking ads in that don't look like ads are what I'm more concerned about.

That would be illegal. I understand that there are a lot of strong opinions and open questions about OpenAI behavior – the amount of vigilantism is quite staggering – but if what they do is found to be clearly illegal by courts around the world, they will have to pay very hefty fines. Disguising ads is one such move. That's just not a winning business.

> That would be illegal.

Yeah, so?

“The market can remain irrational longer than …” - John Maynard Keynes.

Oh, so that’s from him. This is the most state-interventionist economist. The fact that state actors trusted him for their policy since 1929 has more to do with a convergence of interests than rationality. I’m not surprised that he started the ideology that markets were irrational.

Here’s a similar quote from the great enemy of markets, Benjamin Graham:

“In the short run, the market is a voting machine but in the long run, it is a weighing machine.”

I’ve had a couple of instances where when I describe a requirement, ChatGPT would not list an open source project like n8n and happen to only remember paid alternatives. It’s an advertiser’s wet dream, being able to slowly creep and manipulate even the most uninterested people into using a product. And it’s so personalized that ChatGPT may even refuse to tell you about products that are not paying them a cut and this…

Pretty sure FTC rules force bloggers to disclose if they're being paid to promote a product. Maybe someone will be able to make a lot of money suing OpenAI if they violate those rules.

I hope so, because a similar thing is happening with dynamic pricing at grocery stores and nothing is being done yet.

We’re about to be charged whatever we could afford to pay for a product. Thanks Kroger.

I can't wait for the instructions to start having ads embedded. 2. Place the turkey in your GE Two in One Oven set to 350, cooking for 10 minutes a lbs. 3. While waiting for your Turkey to finish cooking, why not have an ice cold Coke Zero? Click here for nearby locations. 4. Remove Turkey from the oven, let rest for ten minutes while listening to Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars sing "Die with a Smile" on Spotify.

This is where Tesla has a key advantage. Optimus can walk you to the kitchen to look for a Coke Zero. Google and OpenAI cannot compete with this.

Unless you’re not white, in which case it will spout nazi propaganda at you while starving you by refusing you entry to your fridge.

Let’s not sugar coat the future here.

Every time a tech bro says “Making the world a better place”, someone’s rights are being violated.

it won’t be. the same sane argument was that “robotaxi” fall will be dramatic but it wasn’t, Musk, like Trump, is a master at manipulating masses and when thing du jour inevitably fails he’ll just pivot on an earnings call (and on “X” along the way) how “thing du jour is yesterday’s news” and he’s onto “next big thing” - data center on Jupiter that will replace all earth’s data centers or something like that :)

“Master at manipulating masses” is something you have to tell yourself when people you don’t like are highly successful, I guess.

enron was highly successful and so was bernie maddof

You'd most probably wouldn't be able to tell for sure. Ads will be subtle and flow as background music to the onversation. Talking to the AI while on your daily commute will make you thirsty for some sort of hot beverage while ChatGPT tells you all about sirens in Greek mythology.

But why the hell would I want to talk to the AI while on my daily commute? Do people do that?

Poe's Law notwithstanding, I find it hard to believe that anyone would think I was making a good faith business acumen observation. If Optimus walks you to the kitchen to get a coke, what's Tesla's business model? Charge by the nanosecond for compute time?

Tesla doesn’t need a business model, they’re a meme stock.

Only on HN can you say something so obviously true and have a reply section full of uhm ackshuwllys.
