OpenAI Facing Bankruptcy?#
OpenAI claims that the daily cost of chatgpt is about 700,000 US dollars, not including the cost of GPT-4 and DALL-E2. Currently, it is only supported by Microsoft's billion-dollar subsidy and may go bankrupt by 2024.
It is not surprising that they are trying to gain sympathy. Making money, no shivering. However, this person said that they only have Microsoft's billion-dollar subsidy. Then I would like to ask, where is the cost of our gpt-plus? Did my API not pay for it? With the dominant global model strength of chatgpt, there should be many companies willing to cooperate and making money should not be difficult.
Zuckerberg: No Hope for Fight with Musk, Will Not Happen#
Since June of this year, these two social media giants have been competing with each other, even challenging each other to a fight in the octagon cage match in Las Vegas. They even mentioned live streaming on Threads, one from Facebook to Threads and the other from Twitter to X, traveling back and forth, live streaming on their respective platforms, which is quite eye-catching globally. I even thought about writing a contract and betting with Dogecoin.
Just the day before, Musk stated that he had already discussed with the Italian government and determined the location of the match, which will take place in an ancient Roman colosseum. However, the date of the match has not yet been determined. "I may need to have a minor surgery first," Musk said on social media last week. The recovery time for the surgery may take a few months.
However, our lizard man Zuckerberg claimed the day before yesterday that Musk is not serious about the fight because he has been unable to finalize the date of the match. He even suggested practicing in Zuckerberg's backyard. In view of this, Zuckerberg believes that it is time to end the discussion about the fight. This back and forth reminds me of the taste of Musk's acquisition of Twitter.
Sogou Input Uploads Input Content to Server#
Researchers at the University of Toronto have found that Tencent's Sogou input method will send back every word you type to Tencent headquarters. Original article link
As the most popular Chinese keyboard program, Sogou Input has a monthly active user base of 450 million people. Now, citizenlab has discovered that every word typed by users is being uploaded to Tencent headquarters, and its encryption method is easily leaked to third-party attackers. The most ridiculous thing is that after citizenlab discovered this vulnerability, they reported it to Tencent headquarters, but due to network firewall reasons, they were unable to receive a timely response.
From two perspectives, I think this incident is worth considering. First, the most important thing for an input method is security. In the era of smartphones, input methods can be said to be the most capable of analyzing users' personalities and privacy, including the way we speak. Sometimes, they even copy passwords to the clipboard, which the input method will read. Second, why does Tencent upload every word we type to their servers? Except for some network words that need real-time updates, most words can be completed locally, and real-time updates do not require uploading the words we type. This operation is difficult not to arouse suspicion. Why do they do this?
Of course, there is no need to worry too much. It has been fixed now, just update it. All platforms' Sogou input methods need to be updated, and it is best to disable internet access.

PDF Tool Sharing#
Here is a useful PDF tool. Many functions of WPS and other PDF tools require payment or troublesome cracking (which I do not support), but you can choose free tools. In terms of security, although it is a web page, it runs locally, so security can still be ensured.
