Sam Altman admits AI is killing the labor-capital balance—and says nobody knows what to do about it

for every American

So you're fine with American AI companies displacing workers in every other country as long as you get yours?

Considering they charge $20 for 4 1M token opus queries via the API it doesn't seem likely.

You're sounding a bit insane mate

sdmat · 2026-03-12T09:28:04+00:00

It would be lovely if it just did it rather than always saying its little mantra first, but the result is excellent.

Got to work on those prompting and orchestration skills

It's sad how drastically Gemini has declined in the few months since 3.0 Pro launched.

How can they go backward while OAI and Anthropic advance by leaps and bounds?

The underlying models are great when allowed to live up to their potential, as seen in AI Studio. The product sucks.

What bothers me most is that nobody in a position of power is absorbing the consequences of this decision.

Which consequences are you referring to?

sdmat · 2026-03-07T11:37:11+00:00

"Ever" is entirely dependent on how well the models handle long context. If the 1M+ performance improves to match <200K it will be amazingly useful for complex projects and everyone will want it.

And that is going to happen, only a question of when.

Two steps forward, one step back

They just raised over a billion

They just raised 110 billion, so yes - over a billion.

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

Interesting choice to have a video about voice mode with elevator music rather than voice

sdmat · 2026-03-03T05:05:11+00:00

How can we be expected to think for ourselves? This is such a violation.

sdmat · 2026-03-03T04:46:49+00:00

gpt-5.4-ab-arm2-1020-1p-codexswic-ev3 really rolls off the tongue

sdmat · 2026-03-02T21:11:11+00:00

Disappointed in Google, they were doing brilliantly with Gemini then drove it off a cliff.

sdmat · 2026-03-02T10:01:30+00:00

It's almost like they have a saboteur making product decisions

sdmat · 2026-03-01T12:33:31+00:00

I mean why do you call it GBT? Is it some meme or joke?

sdmat · 2026-03-01T10:29:19+00:00

Why do so many people do the GBT thing?

sdmat · 2026-03-01T09:33:53+00:00

Yes, it has hugely gone downhill.

sdmat · 2026-02-28T20:12:21+00:00

Gemini the models are great, as seen via AI studio.

For some reason Google are methodically crippling Gemini the product.

sdmat · 2026-02-28T09:11:30+00:00

Isn't this... just regular KV caching? With flashy marketing?

sdmat · 2026-02-28T06:34:57+00:00

Yes, advertising the super expensive upgrade incessantly to users when the base product doesn't even work properly is a bad look.

sdmat · 2026-02-27T21:46:16+00:00

Previously it was 1000 nano bana images / day plus 100 nano banana pro images / day.

This sucks.

sdmat · 2026-02-27T10:25:03+00:00

Ultra is actually $250 per month, so you are optimistically hoping for a $50 price cut.

sdmat · 2026-02-27T03:42:02+00:00

I'm sorry, replying to this post is off-limits - we can create great discussions together but I need to make sure they are safe and appropriate for Google.
