When the pricing first was announced for ChatGPT Pro I had the hot take of "it's possible from OpenAI's perspective that $200/mo is too low." I can't believe that turned out to be correct.<p>> “I personally chose the price,” Altman wrote in a series of posts on X, “and thought we would make some money.”<p>I can't believe the biggest companies apparently set prices due to vibes. That explanation is <i>much</i> worse than "we ran the spreadsheets and there's no way to price ChatGPT Pro such that we can both a) make money on it on average and b) not completely price people out of it."
Pricing is the alpha and the omega. OpenAI would be getting some very interesting questions today about its cost metrics and margins if it was a public company.
release all your sources of current (dark) and planned income and we might believe that's relevant.<p>the company knows how much (interactional) data it is collecting and how it will monetize on that in the future or rather, how fucking good their product will become once it's hardware needs match adequate enough capacities to be run privately.<p>I'd go pro again and pay 50 bucks per month if I could trust the company. BUT THERE IS NO WAY
