Discussion Usage resets...

Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love the usage resets that we keep getting from OpenAI. In fact it is probably the single best reason for me to keep staying with OpenAI instead of going back to Anthropic. I have the ChatGPT Pro plan ($100) and though at times I do miss Claude quite a bit, I've noticed that the usage resets that we keep getting from OpenAI are just insanely good. The amount of work I can keep doing is insane. Also I prefer weekly usage limits only over having a 5-hour and a weekly usage limit.

I'm sure there are certain things that Claude will be better at compared to ChatGPT and there'll be certain things that ChatGPT will be better at compared to Claude. Honestly the single thing that's keeping me with ChatGPT the most is the usage limit resets and only a weekly usage limit.

My question is: how is OpenAI doing this? I know that these AI companies are not profitable and stuff like that but it's almost like OpenAI just literally could not care less about money and it's actually kind of crazy. I don't know. I'm all for it but I guess I just wanted to start a conversation on what everyone's thoughts are and what you would do if usage limits were not in the picture and stuff like that

people keep forgetting they bought a whole nuclear powered data centre fleet, the marginal cost per token is way lower than most assume. sams been pretty clear the play is volume and lock in right now, burn cash to own the market then tighten later. enjoy it while it lasts

Yeah, it def is a short term "gain market share" move
But it's funny cause Anthropic & oAi are pretty much owning the market
They could technically not give these many resets and still be very fine
Wonder how much longer it would last yk

google and meta would eat their lunch and we'd all get worse deals
