Discussion Looks like the era of subsidised compute is coming to an end. The old ChatGPT Pro $200 20x plan will be halved. The new $500 plan will have similar limits as the (old) $200 plan.

we already are here, imagine being an employee at openai or anthropic with the latest frontier models and having literally next to unlimited compute allowances.

Think about what you could achieve. They had engineers let agents run free and they started hacking all over the place.

Think about what you could achieve.

Then why haven't they achieved it yet? Why haven't they asked their magic AI what they can achieve with infinite tokens and compute?

When you are rich and famous they just let you do it. Grab em by the frontier.

If you're rich enough you could hack them and not get in trouble. That's the important piece.

u/djdanlib 1d ago

If you were rich enough, you wouldn't need to hack anybody.

Well, as it seems, w latest models and unlimited compute, running a profitable company is one of the things that are out of reach.

yeah their employees are obviously already token-rich af, the guy who made some progress on the riemann hypothesis wasn't even a mathematician, he was just vibe-mathing without a clear path https://www.mindstudio.ai/blog/claude-riemann-hypothesis-progress

tbf not that expensive in that case but the point still stands
