But it’s costly. It would be even more useful if it were 1000 times cheaper than it is now. And we don’t yet know if OpenAI earns more than it spent on renting cards or not
Sure. Agree with that. But we can be very confident in the price of compute decreasing over time.
(Although we can make inform estimates on OpenAIs cost structure for serving models well enough to guess they are probably breaking even on it, or pretty close to it. Eg listen to the gradient dissent interview with the Together AI founders and it’s clear they are doing the same, and unless you think OpenAI is remarkably worse at serving technology it implies they are in the breaking even ballpark)
And we still don’t need AGI for it to be a great business.
