Sure, it took dropbox 9 years, Amazon took 7.

OpenAI just turned 10, with profit nowhere in sight, and a path to profitability completely invisible.

It’s pretty much every other religion too.

Every pastor who raped a little had that exact back story

It’s really not, since all their models cost progressively more to run, and don’t bring in any more money.

Remember, all those paying subscribers COST them money every month.

What is? Pointing out that dropbox has a conversion more than twice as high as OpenAI?

Google made their CEO of advertising into the CEO of search. Unsurprisingly, it sucks now.

Peope don’t usually compare OpenAI with Dropbox, but Dropbox isn’t particularly great with the free-to-paid converion rating. 2.6% is pretty bad, but they STILL manage to make money because what they do is pretty cheap on a per-user basis. They just host data, and most of that data isn’t really used much. Also, I don’t know if Dropbox is “that” profitable. All I could find is that their revenue exceeds their operating costs, but I don’t know if that covers R&D or marketing, which they probably spend a LOT of money on.

Comparisons with YouTube and Spotify get thrown around a lot more, which convert around 5% and a whoppingly insane 36%, compared to OpenAI’s measly 1%. And both YouTube and Spotify actually make a LOT of money on their “free” users, via ads. OpenAI has no monetisation beyond subscribers, and they’re very bad at getting people to pay for their stuff.

Spotify has 280m paid users, out of 780m monthly users. Roughly 26 times better conversion than OpenAI

What proportion of people with Dropbox or Google Docs or Hotmail are paying customers?

Dropbox is nice enough to list it.

They have 700m users, and 18m of them pay for the service, so about double of OpenAI. Completely unlike OpenAI, however, they make quite a bit of profit, having a revenue of 2.55b and 1.63b in operating costs. OpenAI subscribers can’t even cover their own cost of inference.

Imagine having 79 unpaid users for every subscriber. Most companies would die from embarrassment.

Sure, but you don’t go there as a punishment from god for a lack of belief, you go there because you did shitty things.

Vantablack is applied via spraying it on at some 200 degrees C, then putting the object in a vacuum to let the nanotubes align.

Its not really a paint.

I’m VERY white, and so is my tolerance of spicyness. I always have to ask if the food is actually spicy or Dutch-spicy, because if it’s the former, I’ll take the extra mild please.

The problem is that “therapy” is so incredibly broad and most unprotected.

My cat definitely isn’t a psychiatrist, but as of 12 seconds ago she is a fully licensed therapist. Kindly fork over 8000 bucks in exchange for her bumping her forehead against your shin.

Seperator meat has basically lost all of the properties of meat in term of flavour or texture, so why even bother with using dead animal at that point?

Also, whenever I eat real meat, my bowels love reminding me the next night.

That doesn’t seem very Joker-y

The column is Ionic, but don’t let that detract from the joke!

Doric is straight, Ionic has scrolls, Corinthian is with frills and leafs.

The links seemed like decently recent data so you wouldn’t expect someone in my percentiles to be so strangely missized unless sizing was just flat wrong or targeted to certain body shapes in the last 10-ish years.

Ehhh sorta kinda. The charts used are intentionally outdated, since they’re supposed to model healthy weight and are used for population scale statistics.

Currently, more than 30% of kids fall in the 95th percentile, for example. Which is statistically a stupid thing to say, but it allows for better tracking if you don’t change your measuring tool.

75th percentile in weight for the US

Seeing how 30% of the US is morbidly obese, I’m rather shocked you’re were in a size L at all.

Or you’re using an outdated chart.
