Several of the biggest companies today are fueled by ads, and OpenAI has the perfect ad vehicle. What else were you expecting?
That's why local LLMs are important, and to preserve the current open weight models, because those are likely still untainted by ads. It won't be long until ad recommendations are directly baked into the weights of open models.
I'm old enough to remember when these people were claiming AI was as important and as revolutionary as fire and electricity. I don't know about you, but I pay for my electricity and the power companies don't have to run ads on my power lines in order to run their business.
Good luck with your new ad business lol
It’s not like “OpenAI == AI”
One could possibly make the case that currently that is the public perception (outside the SV bubble). But is it really true?
Last time I checked Dario staked Anthropic’s future and reputation, on paid subscription.
Tech CEOs might be wealthy and powerful but there are two things they definitely don't have anymore: trust and the benefit of the doubt. Who knows, maybe Dario is gonna be the exception to the rule but I doubt it.
The track record of the really big CEOs has been less than super good nervous sweating
Maybe I’m being naive, but there a few good ones (smaller and mid tier size) out there imo
Don't disagree. I think scale and ambitions play a huge role.
some of us were hoping for actual innovation, not more ads
