Yes. I've had 2 clients do similar to what you described, so I have stopped working with them completely (one of them subsequently deleted their production database).
Another agreed for me to do an audit where I found severe vulnerabilities, including anyone having admin access, being able to set their own price during checkout, leaking PII etc.
Another is doing an AI in business course and wants to recreate their app using "N8N and ChatGBT". Thankfully, they have heeded my warnings - for now.
I've worked for some of these clients for over a decade, so I have a very low tolerance if they chose not to trust my professional opinion.
Be sure to enable canonical so it converts the specific genres into their parent genre.
The Windsurf team repeatedly stated that they're running at a loss so all this seems to have achieved is giving OpenAI an excuse to cut their 3rd party costs and drive more Windsurf users towards their own models.
For making money, I'd suggest reaching out to professional re-stringers and asking if they want to advertise (once you have some nice analytics to brag about). Maybe even localise them based on geolocation data so you can have more re-stringers without cluttering it up. It's a value-add to your users so everyone should be happy.
You could probably even reach out to some YouTubers (I personally like BadmintonInsight). Since it's free, I would imagine some of them would do a video on it just to help their viewers.
Either way thanks for sharing.
I have a few questions. 1. I'm assuming by the pricing it's "serverless" inference, what's the cold-start time like? 2. Any idea on inference costs?
Also just to reiterate what others say but the option of exporting weights would definitely make it more appealing (although it sounds like that's in the roadmap).
Anyone that resonates with that letter, please speak to someone. If you're a male in the UK there's Andy's man club[0], which is just a group of normal guys who chat about life - including mental health. You'll hear first hand how close a lot of them came to tapping out but made it through and are glad they did. No matter how bleak it seems, there is a route to something that resembles happiness... you might just need a helping hand from others to get there.
If you're genuinely interested, I recommend starting with this report: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/e-cigarettes-an-e...

As someone who only occasionally uses VPNs, this is great and I will be purchasing.
Copy & paste for those who can't visit Twitter:
> BREAKING NEWS: Secret acquirer of $15+ million domain chat .com revealed and it's exactly who you'd think.
> For those of you that have been following me for a while, you may recall that I announced earlier this year that I had acquired the domain chat .com for an "8 figure sum" (which was later reported as being $15.5M).
> I also shared that I had sold the domain to an undisclosed buyer.
> I was not at liberty to share who the acquirer was (I was going to leave that to them, when they were ready).
> Well, in a 8 character tweet (talk about brevity), Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI revealed that they were the buyer. If you visit the website now, it goes to ChatGPT.
It's amazing how much difference the prompt must make because using it is like going back to gpt3.5 yet it's the same model.
I would have assumed there's more profit in the subscriptions than the API. $20 is roughly 2 million output tokens a month through the API. Given the 50% margin they claim, each user would have to be generating 3-4 million output tokens a month for OpenAI to be at a loss. Is that likely? Seems like a lot of words to me.
