How fast are they burning money right now?
Based on their funding rounds, $10 billion lasts about 18 months.
So about $555 million per month.
They don't care if they earn money the next 5-7 years.
And they will hit the point of a great model doing human work for less than a monthly salary. It's just a matter of time.
I'm incredulous.
There was that thread asking what people are using LLMs for and it pretty much came down to "softening language in emails".
For most jobs LLMs can provide a small productivity bump.
IMO if an LLM can do most of your job then you're not producing much value anyway.
