[❓] ChatGPT's fate hangs in the balance as OpenAI reportedly edges closer to bankruptcy
Investors are barely breaking even as the venture is hardly making any profits due to a shortage of chips, divided interests, and more.
... OpenAI has already seen a $540 million loss since debuting ChatGPT.
... OpenAI uses approximately 700,000 dollars to run the tool daily.
⚠️ First off, apologies as I didn't cross check. Take it w/ a grain of salt.
This piece of news, if true, somehow explains why OpenAI has been coming up w/ weird schemes for making $$$ like entering the content moderation space.
On a similar note, I wonder if this had been a key driver (behind the scenes) in the recent investment in open source AI initiatives (Haidra comes to my mind?) Perhaps some corporations who haven't got enough $$$ to fund their own dedicated research group are looking to benefit from an open source model?
Where do you meet these people? I need more of such people in my life.
Yeah, I was about to say, 99% of people are either unaware or do not care. Don't mistake Lemmy's privacy opinions as representative of the general population.
'People' in this respect are also the owners of media sites.
There's currently a meeting in Germany with about 4000 of them.
But it's not the prevailing mindset in the general population.
