    I don’t think OpenAI maintains any data centers, they run all of their stuff on Azure.

      They can’t eat Azure or use Azure to pay bills. OpenAI has to cause more people to lose their jobs and pocket their money as earning.

  I assume because the most expensive plan is what all the power users have?

    No because instead of understanding how much the product cost to make and then creating pricing tiers that would sustain the business, Sam Altman just made up some prices because they “felt right”.

    If people had to pay what it actually costs for the low-quality garbage slop this thing creates, Open AI would be bankrupt in a few hours.

    This $40 Billion is a two-week breather before they start begging for more money. It’s all going in the toilet (with a cool billion or two into Sam’s pocket).
