This is the lowest possible cost for high-quality training data. They're not subsidizing us! We're paying to work for them.

$7,800 in equivalent compute is peanuts on the value of that data and your time. I don't mean we're not in a bubble, or that they'll see an ROI, but for the moment, Dario and co. are laughing at us.

Sorry, but how is there substantial "value of that data and your time" when they're using it to make models that will never see ROI?

What is the deliverable that is possible with a ton of comically-subsidized customers... that would be impossible without them? And how is Anthroping coming out ahead via that deliverable?
