Yeah kinda feels like that guy may have failed history class. Nothing like rolling over for the aggressor.

Have you used the switch eshop? It takes seconds for some things to load on that.

Is that for all operations or literally just to run the paid services? Cause if that includes the free services, marketing, R&D then they have a lot of options to cut costs.

Given what AWS/etc. charge for their LLMs/APIs it feels like the entire industry is subsidizing LLM compute to stay competitive. But I could be wrong there.

This is something I’ve been speculating for a while. The cost of running these complex systems (as OpenAI models aren’t just LLMs) is subsidized so heavily that we don’t really know the cost of running these things.

This is a huge risk to any business, as the price for these services has to go up significantly in the long term.
