We literally gave ChatGPT their next idea by making fun of them.

They probably saw the posts on the internet where a real person would have a lengthy back and forth conversation with 4o about how many R's are in strawberry and were like "wait, what if we could make the chat bot do that with itself before it answers"

10 quadrillion GPU cycles and $100 in electricity later, we have a "new" GPT model!

Oh and considering their new $200 per month paid plan, it seems like I might not be far off concerning the price to run this parlor trick of a chatbot.

    Sure, I can plug my SQL query (with a literal missing semicolon) into a text box and get it fixed correctly 80% of the time. Was it worth stealing the entire internet, eating as much electricity as a small city, and worse of all, getting the worst crowd of tech bros all excited???

    And then just using matrix multiplication/convolution in the end at massive scale, while better older algos exist.

    @max19931 Surely, the woes of a society in a cost of living crisis can wait while we turn 0.31237 into 0 using $8k-per-card hardware!

    B-b-b-but it does it really quickly!

    imagine all the calories you ate and didn't put into productivity for the betterment of society (whatever that means)

    @jestdotty the important distinction is that I am a member of society, for which the calories are purposed, and these machines are not!
