Except: Enterprises are driven toward API pricing, with at most some bulk purchase discounts), because they need enterprise/security features (central control).. If an enterprise gets a 50% discount on API pricing, they are doing well (OpenAI publicly offers a 30% discount for at least $1000 in credit, so we can safely assume 30% as a starting point).
OpenAI is bending over backwards to research and win those juicy government contracts to ensure their place as a strategic supplier worthy of protection and bailouts as needed.
Seriously though, it would be interesting to learn how these ended up being targeted. Unfortunately there's lower odds of full public RCAs with governments.
Plus you can alert the crew if something's off before take off (eg. loose/missing screws/panels). A forner colleague of mine did that, and got to see the entire maintenance crew come out for an impromptu RCA and incident response.
In math, expect it to ne a mess, mostly because nobody is worry about industrial espionage[1]. Some researchers may get an AI version bought by the university, or school or department, others pay from a grant or their own pockets, other use the free version.
I still remember 2020. We (I, my wife and a few close friends) got in total like 5 Moodles for math inside the same university, and I'm not counting the Moodles for physics or other subjets, and probably there were a few more for math that I didn't know. Each one has a slightly different configuration, so it was a mess to teleport info.
Same with email, we have a different email server at the university/scholl/department level. (Who knows how Gemmini/Copilot/Whatever is configured in each one.)

> Personally I’d like to see them actually start benefiting humanity by doing all the things Sam has claimed they will like curing disease, cancer, global warming, etc.
It makes more sense to leave curing disease & cancer to the experts, with tools (like AI) being developed by AI experts.
Call me crazy, but I want separate organizations and experts for medical vs finance vs space vs climate vs AI research.
What the op was pointing out is that guys like Altman and Dario are repeatedly saying they’re going to cure xyz diseases and solve xyz huge global problems. Maybe their companies will eventually do these things, but haven’t yet.
I don’t have an opinion either way, I think it’s too soon to tell if llms will be able to cure cancer or whatever. But at the very least it will be a good tool to help researchers do their jobs.
The thing is... AI is not going to solve any problems. People needs to solve their problems. AI can give us clever solutions, but its up to us to do it!
> Maybe their companies will eventually do these things, but haven’t yet.
I think they are working with customers to improve the LLMs and tools for these use-cases. They almost certainly also hire experts to help filter out nonsense, pseudo-science and help curate trusted knowledge bases for training, but it will almost certainly be the customers who deliver the major results, and the AI companies will claim some of the credit. That said, patents for important medicine might help with the bottom line, so I could imagine partnerships and JVs.

> Perhaps there is also "firewalling" on the router and the phone can't even have incoming connections. Not sure.
Correct. Every home wifi router worth its salt will firewall incoming connections by default, whether v4 or v6. It's then possible (unless it's some shitty ISP-provided locked down device) to add specific allow rules, or allow all for a particular client.
egress is typically wide open, although sometimes they lock down particular protocols by default (eg. smtp, bittorrent)
I believe the 1M context window can be configured in Codex (config file edit). The price per token increases when >256k though, but it can be useful when compaction at-that-moment would be detrimental.
