Hah, yeah I think that "please" thing was mainly Sam Altman flexing about how many users ChatGPT has.
Anthropic announced that they increased their maximum prompt caching TTL from 5 minutes to an hour the other day, not surprising that they are investigating effort in caching when their own prompts are this long!
What I find fascinating is that people still take anything Scam Altman says seriously after his trackrecord of non-stop lying, scamming and bllsh*tting right in people's faces for years.
I can't really think of anything interesting or novel he said that wasn't a scam or lie?
Let's start by observing the "non-profit's" name...
Though the whole "What I find fascinating is that people still take anything ${A PERSON} says seriously after his trackrecord of non-stop lying, scamming and bllsh*tting right in people's faces for years" routine has been done to death over the past years. It's boring AF now. The only fun aspect of it is that the millions of people who do this all seem to think they're original.
I kindly suggest finding some new material if you want to pursue Internet standup comedy as a career or even a hobby. Thanks!
"Attempted comedy" is the most charitable take I could give it (and truthfully, I implied something else).
My point is, their statement is quite obviously wrong, but it sure sounds nice. If you don't agree, I challenge you to provide that track record "of non-stop lying, scamming and bllsh*tting right in people's faces for years". Like, for real.
I'm not defending 'sama here; I'm not a fan of his either (but neither I know enough about him to write definite accusatory statements). It's a general point - the line I quoted is a common template, and it's always a ham-fisted way of using emotions in lieu of an argument, and almost always pure bullshit in the literal sense - except, ironically, when it comes to politicians, where it's almost always true (comes with the job), but no one minds when it comes to their favorite side.
Bottomline, it's not a honest framing and it doesn't belong here.
