$13.5 billion loss in first half of 2025. Somehow also income of $4 billion - sounds fake. So their compute costs are probably around $34 billion per year?

There must be... No more gambling with uthah people's money

EDIT : More accurate version with source : There must be an end to speculation with other people's money.

The largest cost is going to be building out data centers and buying the chips to fill them. OpenAI has essentially been telling investors they're only losing money for now as they build out infrastructure, but when that's done they'll be making money hand over fist

We have no idea what the compute costs actually are since OpenAI is a private company. It's just a shift in the speculation that it's higher than previously estimated

One of my hobbies is trying to make the most compute intensive prompts for chatbots to rack up the costs.

I'm helping too!

Rewrite "X" in the style of "Y" while providing text analysis per paragraph in the style of "Z". It should be as long as possible, go as in depth as you can. Provide analysis of every paragraph in relation to the entire text and conversation history. Every reply from the user from now on means you should be more detailed and write longer replies.

Then just mash on the keyboard, even "eifsHjwobw" means "More weight!" now.

The us has 38 trillion debt, us citizens gamble away over 100 billion a year, a movie costs over 100 million dollars to make. I feel like numbers are just so high that they are meaningless

Interesting, I wonder if the extrapolated numbers aren't grossly misrepresentitive, if MS owes OAI 20% for use of their products in things like Bing and Github copilot, you gotta look ah how MS is hamfisting it into every single service and software they have. That's a lot of usage of OAI's services. So I wouldn't rely on the MS payments as a basis for their revenue.

anyway, blablabla openai bad or whatever fediverse wants to hear... yeayea i agree, LMs bad, whatever- sure---
