you guys realize that the people using chatgpt for free are not the ones they are worried about right? my friends use gpt like google, rather than as a coding agent. the bigger issue are those people that are paying $200 a month and getting $20k of API value (me)

There’s SO MUCH data to sell. There’s SO MANY ads to sell. Facebook has shown us it doesn’t matter how crappy you make your product in service of revenue, people will still use it.

Anthropic has shown that enterprise customers are extremely profitable. Focusing on the free, non-commercial users is missing the actual business.

But won’t they stay free for the same reasons Instagram is free? Investors know the value of free data

We’re all just using the word compute as a noun in the last 72 hours like we’ve been doing it for a decade. 😂

I always wondered why they wouldn’t sell biasing market data towards products. User asks for best product and skew it to the other product in the results

This just reminds me of old school startups like Petfood.com ... they needed crazy investment in global distribution and customer service upfront to accommodate assumed "demand" while using imvestor money to build out all the infrastructure, but then after shipping cost and time delays it ended up not being a competitive business model with just buying similar priced pet food from the store down your road.

Imagine the data they get from that usage - that creates a data flywheel that improves the model. Paid subscribers usually cannot be trained on (they can opt out), free users are gold to build better AI.
