A couple of years ago Altman was saying the price of AI compute is going to drop 90% year over year or something like that, so I don't think they're nervous about talking about lowering their costs. They probably just haven't been able to lower their costs.
You have to keep in mind that about 99% of their announcements are targeted towards investors (their most important revenue source..), so they're not going to be afraid to mention metrics that make the business look better.
Jevons paradox. Cheaper tokens does not mean we will spend less.
Cheaper tokens means the company's margins increase, which would be valuable for investors to hear
The main limit to my token spend right now is that I'm running out of hours in a day.
Ah yes, Sam “Not Consistently Candid” Altman
Oh, is that the guy that sold Loopt by claiming it had hundreds of thousands of users and it turned out to have 500 DAU after his exit?
Yep, the very same scammer. Wonder if he's lying about OpenAI too? Maybe about a person blowing a metal instrument?
