That’s just on computing power. You are forgetting the human costs of ongoing development, maintenance of ChatGPT, power, SRE/operations, cooling costs, and et cetera.

Now M$ is planning to create a specialized chip for AI which comes with its own R&D budget and ongoing costs.

If it proves successful, ChatGPT will become a household brand and M$ could easily ask for $500 per month or more for professional/corporate usage.

I like how you abbreviate "Microsoft" as "M$". It means you think of them without bias and with a clear head. /s

If you see public company as something other than vehicle to make $$$ for the investor it's you that might have bias problem.

You know people only do that with Microsoft, right? It's not done to make a statement about public companies.

Seeing that brought me back to 2006.

M$ has been a rather common abbreviation for Microsoft since at least slashdot days.

my point is that it is a derogatory abbreviation commonly used by people who, in fact, do not have an unbiased view of Microsoft.

it's harder to type than just "MS" so when someone uses "M$" they go out of their way to signal that they are biased. Being biased is fine, so long as one understands that they are biased and that they are communicating their bias along with the rest of the message.
