they literally did actually

At the direction of, and with financial support from, the GRU, CGE and its personnel used generative AI tools to quickly create disinformation that would be distributed across a massive network of websites designed to imitate legitimate news outlets to create false corroboration between the stories, as well as to obfuscate their Russian origin. CGE built a server that hosts the generative AI tools and associated AI-created content, in order to avoid foreign web-hosting services that would block their activity. The GRU provided CGE and a network of U.S.-based facilitators with financial support to: build and maintain its AI-support server; maintain a network of at least 100 websites used in its disinformation operations; and contribute to the rent cost of the apartment where the server is housed. Korovin played a key role in coordinating financial support from the GRU to his employees and U.S.-based facilitators.

$20/mo sounds like a reasonable subscription-ish price, so he picked that. That OpenAI loses money on every query, well, let's build up volume!

Ed Zitron calculated from the publicly available numbers that OpenAI was spending $2.35 for every $1 of ChatGPT they sell

this sounds like an attempt to demand others disprove the assertion that they're losing money, in a discussion of an article about Sam saying they're losing money

[–] dgerard@awful.systems 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

the important point is for Sam not to make any statement that wouldn't qualify as forward-looking statements. This helps dodge the SEC busting them for lying to investors, like Theranos and FTX.

Amazon lost money so if OpenAI loses money it must be Amazon
