Wondered about that. But in no case would a guy like me suddenly agree to pay for ChatGPT. It has its uses, but I probably wouldn’t give a meager $5 a month. Said on here before, Altman stated his surprise that the new $200 was actually losing money. If you can’t turn a buck at $200, ya got problems.
You mean subsidizing even harder - there have been absolutely no technological advances that would allow for a price drop of 77%, especially with inflation calculated in. This is the equivalent of your crack dealer giving you 4 times the drugs for your money to ensure you and your whole community get hooked.
That‘s my guess too. Anthropic‘s business model was abysmal already but now the IPO looks like a really bad Ponzi scheme that is guaranteed to lose your money.
I think they are just subsidizing to gain users before the IPO though, no?
