They made an ad to say that they won't have ads, i dont know if they are aware of the irony.

In any case, they draw undue attention to openAI rather than themselves. Not good advertising

Both openAI and Anthropic should start selling compute devices instead. There is nothing stoping open-source LLMs from eating their lunch mid-term

Ads as a concept are not evil. There have been ads since prehistory.

Littering a potentially quality product with ads which one cannot easily separate is what the evil is.

What an awful take

Why? Give me the awesome take

Non factual or interesting. No - ask an LLM I'm sure you'll be interested

Why is it ironic?

It would seem to be ironic if they put ads in their models to say they won't put ads.
