>But they used trillions of tokens? This equates to millions of dollars of spend. Are we really happy with this?

Yes, arguably 5 million is a fair price and cheaper than what it would take to pay humans.

Are they biased by what they know about eachother's capabilities? I'm sure "4o" would have a certain prejudice in other models. So I wonder whether the original model names were masked?

it may not protect against an adversarial llm

Or he’s pragmatic and doesn’t have neurotic reaction to everything

the police should also be banned from using google, reddit and youtube.

I'm not sure I'd go that far, but they should at least be aware of the credibility of information sources they're using to making professional decisions upon. Your world gets very small if you can only gather information that you see with your own eyes, but they do need to validate things they "learn" from Google/FB/Reddit/Youtube/non-official sources. I was unimpressed by the chief's letter:

> In preparation for the force response to the HMICFRS inquiry into this matter, on Friday afternoon I became aware that the erroneous result concerning the West Ham v Maccabi Tel Aviv match arose as result of a use of Microsoft Co Pilot[sic]. Both ACC O’Hara and I had, up until Friday afternoon, understood that the West Ham match had only been identified through the use of Google.

My 3rd grader knows better than to do research based solely on a Google summary snippet, and even understands that just because a linked article under the search agrees with the search that this doesn't mean it's true.

I would have expected that if the chief's staff were investigating rumors of a riot in a stadium 3 hours away, they'd call their counterparts at the police station in that location to get police reports from the incident.

They have trivial access to those official reports. They shouldn't be reliant on journalists sensationalizing, and opining the events for their news articles. They shouldn't be reliant on a search engine that exists to sell ads for those news organizations. They certainly shouldn't trust "Co Pilot" to figure out what may or may not have happened! It seems obvious to me that the tool could happily generate a police report from whole cloth.

Yes

This is making me rethink a lot of things I read

"OpenAI is here because Sam Altman is NOT a product guy. He craves Apple style consumer success, but he's terrible at productizing his technology"

Seriously, consider putting more thought and effort into your comments. This is wildly out of touch and I think it is because people lack the creativity to imagine the counterfactual - some one else running OpenAI.

OpenAI is remarkably well run - it is a fairly good product. The best model so far, the best experience, the 2nd best coding experience.

funny i keep seeing AI is not profitable simultaneously because it is too expensive to run and that it is too cheap to run.

This is silly, so why does chatgpt ask for monthly payments if AGI is imminent? With what money would we pay them?

My argument and yours both agree that it is *not* imminent.

(Where the "it" that isn't, is AGI that takes your job, rather than any other definition of AGI).

To bring it to fruition.

They had claimed money would be worthless, etc, all investors should consider it a donation in a post-AGI world, blah blah.

Strange that people even think this possibility is true. Name any other subscription that you can't use without ads?

- youtube

- hulu

- netflix

- spotify

- photoshop

I can't think of a single other one that one can use that still shows ads. Absurd proposition because llm's are more fungible and once you start forcing ads, competitors will barge in.
