And they'll all be optimized for GPU workloads :(
If anyone actually spent money on science anymore, I bet this would be great for, like, protein folding, that sort of thing.
Terrible for running websites though.

Eh. Your load of money made a oopsie. Another load of money will surely fix it.
Won't they just let this guy go bankrupt already?
THE TECHbros are whoring themselves out to trump for govt contracts.

Honestly, that should have been for the better. If it's meant to be a tool, I would much rather it behave like a tool, rather than trying to be my best friend, or an evil vizier trying to give me advice.
The fact that people got so attached to what is essentially a text generation algorithm that they were mourning its "death" is worrying, especially when it's one that OpenAI has proven themselves to be more than able to modify as they wish.
Just as concerning is OpenAI rolling back the update to make their model "friendlier", or that people were clamouring hand over fist to throw money at the company in the hopes of getting their "friend" back.
That can't possibly be good news, especially when the shareholders find out that they have an iron grip over a portion of their users.
I knew these connections must have existed, but seeing the r*ddit comments (assuming they’re real), I’m absolutely terrified of the future. It’s such a delicate situation due to human emotions but the thought of a tool created by a corporation being the only friend of so many people and the implications of that sends chills down my spine.

You know… if this wasn’t an “AI specific blunder” we’d probably spend some time talking about how uniquely incompetent Altman has been as a someone running a business.
How about your responsibility for the damaging and lethal product of yours, OpenAI?
your company doesnt look like it has a trillion. maybe apple , google can expand a little, or nvidia, but they surely arent going to build more.
