I agree that it won't be an unbiased source of information, but should be roughly same level of trustworthiness as clicking on the link and reading the information on the advertiser's website.
I totally agree about the subscription being worth it for most heavy users, but there are a lot of people in the developing world for whom $20/month is hard to stomach. I think it's good that those people have an option to get more access to AI with lower out of pocket price.
Yeah, basically this. Some people really do click on ads that are relevant to their interests and might want to learn more or be able to ask questions about the product. I'm not confident about how well it will work in practice, but I could imagine cases where this would be more helpful than clicking on the ad link and needing to explore the resulting website to find the information I want.
The challenge is timing. Power is a relatively low share of the cost of a modern data center, but the length of time it takes for approvals and construction for solar means it would substantially slow down the construction vs. using grid+natural gas turbines which are faster to build and get approval for.
I'm 100% on board with charging data centers more for their power usage. They can afford to pay the extra costs. They would much rather pay in dollars vs. in time.
The problem is that I don't know before I read a doc whether or not it will be useful and valuable.
If someone wants me to spend my time and attention on something they have shared, I would like them to demonstrate that they put a proportionate amount of time and effort into its production.

First: why? How does that help you?
Second: Is that actually true? Do you ever watch videos that a friend recommends to you? Even if the amount of time and effort your friend put into producing that video is zero? Do you ever read anything that a friend recommends? Even if they didn't write it?
How much time and effort, in your estimation, did jjfoooo4 put into producing this article on tombedor.dev?
"profitable on inference" means "marginal costs of inference are lower than revenue". It is very common to distinguish between upfront costs vs. marginal costs when judging the economic viability of a business.
You mention "debt servicing", but OpenAI has no debt. All the money they have raised is equity not debt.
There's been a huge amount of improvement in coding agent effectiveness since they ran that experiment. In a more recent follow up experiment, METR found 20% speed up from AI assistance and says they believe that is likely an underestimate of the impact. https://metr.org/blog/2026-02-24-uplift-update/
They are working on making a new measurement approach that will be more accurate.
You can use the "cameo" feature only with users who have gone through the cameo creation flow. Sama has an account and created a cameo likeness of himself.
When you create your cameo you can choose who is allowed to make videos using it: "only me", "people I approve", "mutuals", or "everyone".
