It doesn't take a genius to figure out they are losing stupid amounts of money, with no major plan to recoup their investments.

Board probably took a look at updated burn-rate projections, saw that they have 6 months of runway, saw that they don't have enough GPUs, saw that Llama and Mistral and whatever other open-source models are awesome and run on personal computers, and thought to themselves - why the hell are we spending so much God damn money? For $20 a month memberships? For bots to be able to auto-signup for accounts, not prepay, burn compute, and skip the bill?

Then Grok gets released on Twitter, and they are left wondering - what exactly is it that we do, that is so much better, that we are spending 100x of what cheapo Musk is?

I mean GPT-4 is just so good. Have you compared GPT-4 vs. other models for coding? I'd pay more for GPT-4.

Concur. GPT4 is like having an infinite-energy L3 engineer reporting to me. That's worth $10,000 per month according to the labor market. Sam has been giving away the farm!

People overestimating LLMs like this terrifies me so much

I had this disagreement with people on this site just the other day. People basically were like "you're asking it too complicated questions", but my response was then why does everyone make statements like the commenter you replied to?

Because 99.9% of people who say things like this are just using ChatGPT itself and not any of the various awe-inspiring tools with full access to your codebase dynamically inserted into context via RAG. I have yet to talk to anyone who has actually worked for any amount of time against the GPT4 API or through Cursor, say, who underestimates their capabilities. Sincerely hoping this 'coup' doesn't mean the beginning of the end of that experience for most...

> who underestimates their capabilities

Did you happen to mean overestimates? Just trying to make sure I understand.

>>bmitc+Ui1
I just mean people who have actually used the API directly or through task-specific applications like Cursor that are meant to maximize use of AI for their needs know how much of a breakthrough we’ve had this year. People who doubt or downplay the already existing capabilities of this technology tend to have just played with ChatGPT a little bit (or have whatever ideological or other reason to do so).
