OpenAI's leaked Foundry pricing says a lot – if you know how to read it – about GPT4, The Great Implementation, a move from Generative to Productive AI, OpenAI's safety & growth strategies, and the future of work. Another AI-obsessive megathread on what to expect in 2023 🧵

This fully-general ChatGPT prompt from @psdimov is honestly genius: "You are the world's leading expert in whatever I am about to ask you about" Plenty of room for optimization, but this really does improve performance substantially over baseline. Enjoy! 🤣

Am I really obsessed enough to write two OpenAI pricing megathreads in 1 week?? Apparently so… Today's 90% drop on ChatGPT API – aka "gpt-3.5-turbo" – is another before & after moment in AI How it happened and what it means 🧵👇

as an AI obsessive and long-time @ezraklein fan, I was excited to see yesterday's podcast with @GaryMarcus. Unfortunately, as I listened, my excitement gave way to frustration, and I felt compelled to write my first-ever megathread. Quotes from:

PSA: OpenAI seems to have removed the limit on how much text you can paste into ChatGPT! You can now paste a 100K token codebase – or the full o1 system report for that matter – straight into the textbox and talk to o1 about it

The shift from a cautious, collaborative attitude wrt China not long ago to a zero-sum competitive outlook today - by both Dario and Sam - has been very disappointing - and they’ve offered no explanation for the change!

God grant me the agility to adopt the AI tools that will still be relevant in 6 months, the patience to pass on those that won't, and the wisdom to know the difference.

The word "control" appears 24 times in this essay – all 24 referring to export controls Zero mentions of the challenges of controlling powerful AIs, and the words "safe", "safety", and "alignment" don't appear at all Strange for the CEO of "an AI safety and research company"🤔

What if I told you that a startup with <100 employees is so thoroughly changing how software is built & deployed that it's likely to compete effectively with both @Microsoft & @awscloud? Also, they have 5X as many users/employee as @Meta & are killing it in AI Any guesses?🤔🧵

you people love nothing more than a "leaked internal google memo" and your breathless "no moats" retweets have compelled me to set you straight with another AI-obsessed megathread 😉🧵 tl;dr: we'll see everything, everywhere, all at once, but OpenAI (& Google) have real moats!

Here’s an app that I’d say is close to finding the line “Wanna see your crush kiss you? AI has got you covered” $70 per year or $10 per week, if you’re wondering (no, I didn’t buy!) 😂

There is no “AI War” - and nobody should want one! This is flagrantly irresponsible

1/ New Administration, same goal: Win on AI Our ad in the Washington Post, January 21, 2025 After spending the weekend in DC, I’m certain this Administration has the AI muscle to keep us ahead of China. Five recommendations for the new administration 🧵
