Comment on OpenAI negotiates with Microsoft to unlock new funding and future IPO
nucleative@lemmy.world 1 day agoA lot of their staff will be finished with needing to make any money ever again in their lives if they IPO.
But that will also throw OpenAI into the public sphere of needing to make money quarter after quarter forever, which inevitably leads to them sucking and no longer being innovative. Actually OpenAI is already teetering on this already as others are catching up. Sam and other top guys will leave because they hate people telling them what to do and don’t need it.
Facebook and Deepseek are literally giving it away for free now to kill the competition and in some areas other competitors are producing better products already.
It’s a weird space. I used to think we were on the verge of entering a whole new era of technology but now I think it’s going to be muted. Perhaps AI (as we know it now) eased some tasks and eliminated some BS stuff that used to waste our time, but we’ve not yet completely eliminated most professional jobs - if anything I think we just added more for them to learn and do to remain competitive.

How could anyone have predicted this outcome!?

People will cash out for sure. Maybe they’ll just jump ship and start another company. I guess that makes sense.
I have to disagree that other GPT’s are anywhere near the newest ChatGPT models.
I do agree AI is not the workforce eliminator that everybody on Lemmy is pissing their pants about.

Just curious if you’re a developer or using LLMs often.
I like Anthropic’s sonnet 3.7 model for agent and code related tasks more than the Open AI models at the moment.
Deepseek and LLama can be run offline, which is great for certain uses especially the aforementioned BS tasks that can perhaps burn through API tokens. Quality of output doesn’t match the top models but this is second to privacy for many.
Not sure where things are at with Dall-E 3 image generation but the last time I was looking it seemed like Stable Diffusion has gotten damn good and is extensible in ways that dall-e is not.
Voice recognition, and TTS output w/emotion OpenAI has the best I’ve ever heard.
Image recognition openAI might lead but the llama4 multimodal stuff is pretty awesome
Anyways I’m just some rando but my observation is that OpenAI better get on that IPO fast unless they have some magic in the pipeline because they are being attacked by competent solutions from every side in a niche that is showing diminshing promise to change everything the father we go.

Just watched a podcast with Zuck where he contested model benchmarking because the versions of Llama they’ve put out were tuned for the consumer’s use cases.

I’m a user. Not a python dev. I mess with low-code/no-code stuff for now.
Anthropic is good for coding, but I think it lags way behind competition on everything else.
Deepseek is Chinese so if privacy is a concern I’d be careful.
I’m honestly not familiar with Llama, except I know the model John Snow Labs built off it for Medicare is ranking top right now in HuggingFace benchmarking.
Everybody will eventually catch up and tech will plateau for a bit, so there will be tight competition, but everybody knows ChatGPT right now.
Have you used Apple’s AI tools? I’m curious if they’ll gain market share as more people have it integrated into their phones and stop using ChatGPT.
