    I think this is just OpenAI marketing.

    “Insane thing: We are currently losing money on OpenAI Pro subscriptions!” he wrote in a post.

    The problem? Well according to @Sama, “people use it much more than we expected.”

    Oh no, ChatGPT is too useful to customers! Altman isn’t going to be telling any real problems that OpenAI has to the whole world over Twitter.

      You’re right, that’s definitely what Sam is trying to do here. Unfortunately for him, he’s still an idiot, and he’s inadvertently telling on himself here by openly confirming what’s been well understood for a while; ChatGPT simply is not profitable to run because the models are so stupidly inefficient. That’s a real problem, and one that they’ve shown no meaningful plan for solving.
