    Lol, they slowed down because they start running out of cash to burn, not to improve safety. Training new models is expensive, and even API pricing isn’t paying the bills yet. If they raise their prices to the point where they would start making money, they probably have nearly no costumers left because it’s far to expensive for general use. Sure, some security researchers and scientific institutions will keep using it, but that is not the 1T$+ IPO that Altman needs so he doesn’t get torn apart from limb to limb.

      Possibly to prevent them from slipping off into the night with everyone’s money presumably.

    “No you see, it would be a lot better, we just made it suck on purpose!”

    Same energy as “I could have gotten an A on that test easy, I just decided to answer randomly just to see my teacher’s reaction!”.

    The stench of bullshit is strong.

    Yeah, I wouldn’t worry too much about that. There won’t be a slowdown. Everyone is just trying to slow down their competititon.

    Hmmm, I wonder if that’s their solution to the pricing gap.

    Maybe they have realized that they will never be able to charge the consumers the real price so perhaps their solution is to make them worse across the board.

      This lawsuit is saying that them agreeing to pump the brakes on AI development is anti-competitive. I hope nothing happens.

        Nah. I hope OpenAI is fined 800 billion dollars.

        You ever play monopoly? I want them to land on Boardwalk, with 4 hotels. I know thats not how the game works, but I want it to be a game ender.

        Then do the same to all these. Throw in Meta just for good cause.

    Funny that a news outlet reported about the tweet that sparked this before the tweet was posted.
