Some numbers: https://www.wheresyoured.at/exclusive-openai-financials/

If those numbers are accurate, I don't think 20% is a really, really big deal. It's like saying "we're digging our grave 20% slower." Ok, but they're still digging!

Or, different analogy, if I'm going broke because I lost my job due to executive AI psychosis, cancelling my netflix subscription doesn't really change the math of not being able to afford rent. It doesn't even really slow it. The amount of money that OpenAI is spending is so absurd that a minor cost saving is like, uh, some progress, but they'd need to do it a lot more to move the needle
