Alright, let’s dive into the messy magic of this whole OpenAI circus, shall we?
So, a while back, everyone was whispering—more like shouting really—that OpenAI was flirting with bankruptcy. Crazy stuff, right? Like, $5 billion in the hole kind of stuff. But, plot twist, some big shots like Microsoft and NVIDIA swooped in with a whopping $6.6 billion. Don’t ask me how these numbers even work. Anyway, that pushed OpenAI’s value up to a cool $156 billion. Madness.
And then, not long ago, they did it again! More money rolled in, this time $40 billion, thanks to SoftBank. Now they’re sitting at a jaw-dropping $300 billion market cap. But here’s the kicker—they’re still scratching their heads about how to actually make bank. Microsoft has a hand in there, so who really knows what’s up with that? It’s all a bit murky, and I’m over here just trying to keep my coffee from spilling.
A lot of their losses are because, you know, training these brainy machines isn’t cheap. Think big bucks for data, salaries, and all that jazz. So, they’re like, “Hey, what if we hit folks with pricey subscriptions for our super brainy models?” Makes sense. Or does it? I can’t even decide what to have for lunch, how do they decide what to charge for AI thinking?
Anyway — wait, was I supposed to say something else? Oh, right! Subscriptions! Yeah, they’re looking at weekly or even lifetime plans. Like, who signs up for a lifetime of AI chats? Sounds kind of wild but intriguing. Or maybe just wild.
Someone named @M1Astra caught wind of this in the latest ChatGPT build – thanks to a magical APK teardown (tech stuff, you know?). So yeah, expect options beyond the monthly $20 deal. Annual plans for ChatGPT Team and Enterprise are out there too, like a buffet of subscription choices.
Weekly plans seem handy if you just need the occasional deep dive into AI brilliance, unlike me who can’t even plan a week ahead. But lifetime? Man, what a commitment. It’s like tattooing “forever AI” on your finances.
Anyway, the future’s both shiny and pricey for generative AI. Is a lifetime plan worth it? I dunno, you tell me. Hit up the comments with your hot takes, and I’ll be here trying to figure out why my phone’s always dying by noon.
