What OpenAI Did When ChatGPT Users Lost Touch with Reality: DAU Optimization

Fair point. I actually wish Altman/Amodei/Hassabis would stop overhyping the technology and also focus on the broader humanitarian mission.

Development coupled to DAUs… I’m not sure I agree that’s the problem. I would argue AI adoption is more due to utility than addictiveness. Unlike social media companies, they provide direct value to many consumers and professionals across many domains. Just today it helped me write 2k lines of code, think through how my family can negotiate a lawsuit, and plan for Christmas shopping. That’s not doom scrolling, that’s getting sh*t done.

There is no humanitarian mission, there is only stock prices.

You can say "shit" on the internet, as in "I bet those two thousand lines of code are shit quality",or "I hope ChatGPT will still think for you when your brain has rotted away to shit".

Nobody likes people like you, so I hope that temporary high of snarky superiority gets you through the day, buddy :)
