I think it's damning that they possibly have the most advanced AI on the planet right now, unfiltered, no guard rails, and as much compute as they could possibly want for deep reasoning and inference, and despite that, the best move they could make was enshittification.

I've been bullish for OpenAI, but that's starting to fade. Sama is a master of the artful dodge, though, so it'll be interesting to see what happens. Between the burn rate and the lawsuits and the need for more compute, there's a ton of pressure on them right now.

How do you propose they fund the free usage otherwise? They do offer a paid version without ads.

(typically the ~entire general public chooses the ads: see how ad-supported products beat paid in virtually every generation of tech)
