The Most Expensive โThank Youโ in Tech History ๐ฅ Turns out, saying โthank youโ to ChatGPT costs millions. Literally. Sam Altman just revealed that OpenAI spends tens of millions of dollars processing tiny, polite phrases like โthank youโ and โplease.โ They seem short. Sweet. But they burn compute like crazy. Even a casual โYouโre welcomeโ isn't free. It comes with a price tag and a splash of environmental cost (think: water-cooled servers). Why? Because large language models donโt run on good vibes they run on massive data centers. Still, OpenAI doesnโt plan to remove them. Why? Because these polite exchanges matter. They humanize the experience. Build trust. Make AI feel less like code and more like a companion. But thatโs a double-edged sword. Researchers from OpenAI and MIT are raising red flags emotional dependence, withdrawal symptoms, the works. Turns out, the more human AI feelsโฆ the more it messes with our humanity. And here's the kicker: premium users technically pay per word. So is that โthank youโ genuine? Or justโฆ premium politeness? We're entering a weird era Where empathy is engineered, And manners have a monetary footprint. Welcome to the age of emotionally intelligent machines. Just remember: even kindness has a carbon cost. You never know if... they will appreciate it on Terminator 2 Judgment Day...

Be very careful hiring your first 5 employees. You're not hiring employees tbh, you're building a unit that will build the company. If it turns great, they will get it off the ground and lead further. If it turns worse, they can also get it to a dea
