ChatGPT spends 'tens of millions of dollars' on people saying 'please' and 'thank you', but Sam Altman says it's worth it

Do you say "Please" or "Thank you" to ChatGPT? If you're polite to OpenAI's chatbot, you could be part of the user base costing the company "Tens of millions of dollars" on electricity bills.

User @tomiinlove wrote on X, "I wonder how much money OpenAI has lost in electricity costs from people saying 'please' and 'thank you' to their models."

OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, responded, "Tens of millions of dollars well spent - you never know." Thanks for lowering the world's anxiety around an AI uprising, Sam. We'll all be sure to waste even more energy by saying "Please" or "Thank You" from now on.

In February, Future PLC, the company that owns TechRadar, compiled a survey of more than 1,000 people on their AI etiquette. The survey found that around 70% of people are polite to AI when interacting with it, with 12% being polite in case of a robot uprising.

Obviously, there's an energy cost when using ChatGPT, which has massive AI-powered servers that run the whole operation. But as these tools thrive in popularity, are most of us even aware that one simple message, or one AI-generated meme, is impacting the planet?

how do we tell them?

I don't blame the donation if they believe having some influence within the Nut House will be better than having none in the long run. But this is literally insane. A brain drain within the country is all that actions like these will result in. Who in their right minds want to be associated with this mess, yet alone join willingly?

There's also Sam's involvement with all the dystopian "network state" stuff (and him buddying up with more openly technofascist billionaires)

Worth noting however that Sam might still get the short end of the stick if Elon wins the power struggle.

OpenAI's New AI Tool Helps Programmers Write and Fix Code
Users can interact with Codex through the ChatGPT interface; Codex can read and edit files, run commands like test harnesses and linters, and give logs and test outputs.

OpenAI has announced the launch of Codex, a cloud-based AI coding agent made to help software engineers with a range of programming tasks. Codex is now available for ChatGPT Pro, Team, and Enterprise users, with plans to add support for Plus and Edu users soon.

It is built on Codex-1, a version of OpenAI's O3 reasoning model optimized specifically for software engineering. Codex can handle tasks such as writing new code, fixing bugs, answering questions about codebases, and proposing pull requests. Each task runs in its own isolated cloud environment, which is preloaded with the user's code repository. Completion times vary from one to 30 minutes, depending on complexity.

Users can interact with Codex through the ChatGPT interface. Codex can read and edit files, run commands like test harnesses and linters, and give logs and test outputs.
