lol, I love it. I'm thinking about paying for DeepSeek even though I hate AI bullshit, just to spite all the panicking AI tech scammers. This has seriously made my week, the amount of copium they are inhaling is insanely funny :D

If I had money to spend, I would get a ChatGPT subscription since they lose money for every account.

The whole startup industry rely on investors to cover for their costs for years, while they work on a loss, in order to obtain a bigger market share. Look at Netflix, Facebook, WhatsApp, etc.

So buying an account you are increasing their market share.

But feel free to use Mistral, Deepseek, etc. that would be better

Just rent some server space instead and run your open-weights model of choice

You have to use it a lot. From what I can tell that's their problem, they priced unlimited access low based on some numbers they pulled out their arse and then were all shocked Pikachu face when people used it and unlimited amount.

I had a subscription but I barely used it, maybe twice a day with no complex stuff. I don’t get how it’s possible to lose money on users like me. I finally cancelled because of the price.

They don't lose money on users like you.

So the suggestion from @heavydust@sh.itjust.works will just increase their revenue 🙂

[-] Mikina@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

That's only for the 200$ one, and if you use it constantly, no?

Isn't the OpenAI one they offer the same one as the one provided at https://chatgpt.com/ without login? So probably something not as impactful.

Or do they share their unlimited subscription?
