      > CFO Sarah Friar has expressed worries about whether the firm can afford the billions of dollars of future compute contracts it has taken on

      Vendors are taking on massive amounts of debt, literally hundreds of billions of dollars, banking on this company being able to follow through on their „promises“ to pay.

      And their CFO is nervous.

      LOL

      I wonder how many more slumps it’s going to take before they don’t get up again.

      Gonna be a really bad time but I think the schadenfreude will carry me through the financial crash.

      Why didn’t OpenAI just ask ChatGPT how they could meet internal targets for active users and revenue?

    7. MattyBeatz on

      Well, is anyone here terribly surprised by this? They’ve been setting piles of cash on fire and at some point our economy can’t consist of the promise of AI, sports betting, and OnlyFans.

      I wonder how much of this is due to the pentagon contract. I used ChatGPT once since then and I used to use it multiple times a day

    9. 9ersaur on

      The problem is/was Sam.

      He got in bed with trump’s pentagon, and they still want to use Claude. lol.

      Oh my god!!!! How could anyone have guessed that the majority of the earth’s population wouldn’t subscribe after several years of it not happening despite the single largest multi-company propaganda campaign in history to push it on us?!?! There was just no way to know!

      Seriously, investors, you’re fucking stupid.

      Sarah Friar doesn’t get enough criticism in my humble opinion. I’m just a layman, but doesn’t a CFO have the responsibility to stop unrealistic projections from being made in the first place?

    12. wrpnt on

      I stopped using ChatGPT as soon as the news dropped that they bent the knee to the feds. Goodbye 👋

      I enjoyed deleting my chatGpt account a few months ago, guess i wasn’t the only one

      I think every single AI company with the exception of Google (they got the money) made a mistake in drinking their own Kool-Aid.

      Google has individuals hooked in already…. These new companies were trying to get that and couldn’t.

      So they went to CEOs and touted the ability to use it in place of workers, and the CEOs of course went for it. Invested money, then saw the returns were not as grand as these companies sold them on. Did they see a return at all? Yes, they did, but more and more articles are showing how it isn’t enough of a return to replace, at least not yet. Now they go back to old reliable, downsizing and outsourcing to try to make the ground (and their invested money) back up.

      I say all this to say, Sam Altman is a great used car salesman. There’s no denying that.

      Turns out, people were only excited about magic art machine when it was free. If you gotta pay, might as well comission a real person. Abd turns out, businesses were only excited about cost savings, but if OpenAI wants to make a profit, they have to charge so much that hiring people makes more sense.

      Chatbots are not a feature that users want. There’s a big future for LLM integration, but most of it is just slapping a chat UI on top of an LLM agent with basic system prompt and some half assed RAG.

      The problem is that building a good application that leverages LLMs in a way that users want requires software engineers and OpenAI has built their whole valuation strategy on eliminating software engineers. Users don’t care if an application uses AI anymore than they care if it uses MySQL or Java. If anything, they probably hate if it’s built with AI because most AI integrations are useless and most companies that lean too hard on AI for coding are producing buggy, unstable systems.

      It’s really a shame because it’s amazing technology if used well, but OpenAI refuses to consider any use-case other than eliminating white collar workers.

    21. BeMancini on

      Can they… somehow get Chat GPT to *use itself* so that the count goes up? 🤔/s

    24. Ok_Surprise_4090 on

      Aww, you mean that comically dishonest Today Show segment where Sam repeatedly implied that AI can somehow cure Alzheimer’s (without giving any details) didn’t help?

    25. tiboodchat on

      That’s what happens when you consistently oversell an under-developped product that doesn’t live up to its promises.

    26. sstruemph on

      Our product got our customers laid off and now they are out of work and not using our product.

      oops

    28. CaptainBlob on

      You know… I keep hear about AI failing this, AI failing that…. But lay offs is all time high…

      Not sure what to believe anymore. Or if there is any salvation to this

      Remember when Sam Altman wanted the US government to backup OpenAI with their loans and insure them for 1.4 trillion dollars like 6 months ago?

      And their response privately was. „Well, if you let us go under we’ll take the entire US economy with us.“

      And when that private conversation got leaked, Sam Altman came out sweating bullets saying. „WE DIDN’T ASK FOR ANY MONEY OR BACKUP INSURANCE.“

      Even though the CFO literally said they did like 48 hours prior?

      And then they had that dinner meeting that got leaked where Sam Altman said. „If I wanted to raise 3 trillion dollars I could do it right away?“

      Then they wanted to let OpenAI make Smut content behind a paywall? And then brought in ads?

      Chickens coming home to roost.

    30. Imallvol7 on

      Sam Altman never getting any of my money. Would love to follow gen z at this point and be as analog as possible. Capitalism feels like a disease right now.

      it’s a joke anyway, because user rates are total bullshit for AI.

      some dick C-suite spends 100 mil on AI forces entire departments to use it. no one does. so they say… make accounts or be fired. so people make accounts. no one uses AI. but they still report 100% uptake.

      and all manner of other fuckery. (quarter or two passes. no real gain in efficiency or productivity, because no real problem is being addressed. and most people don’t need to be „just using AI“ and customers hate talking to AI bots and other companies or any compliance orgs can spot shitty AI generated documents…because AI is dogshit for anything remotely creative…. so workflow bonks. so either a company doubles down and wastes more money, drives more participation or abandons AI/drastically scales back.

      but open AI just reports the massive uptick in new accts created/lic sold.

    32. Lyndon_Boner_Johnson on

      Oh the markets slumped based on this totally predictable information that everyone knew was coming?

    34. AvailableReporter484 on

      I keep asking it to replace the dialogue in Seinfeld scenes with Australian and cockney accents for my own personal amusement. What else do they want from me?
