Welcome to episode 242 of the The Cloud Pod podcast – where the forecast is always cloudy. This week your hosts Justin, Ryan, Matthew, and Jonathan are talking about DoH – or DNS over HTTPS, the Digital Ocean, CISO issues, and whether employee issues over at Amazon will impact user experience.

AI is Going Great – Or how ML Makes Money

Listener Note: paywall article, but worth reading.
According to two people interviewed by the Information, Open AI’s revenue has grown to 1.6B from its ChatGPT product, up from 1.3b as of mid-October.

As this happened during the period of the leadership crisis, it seems to not have had much impact.
This roughly means OpenAI is making $130M a month from the sales of subscriptions. And yes, that includes us. You’re welcome, OpenAI.

8:28 Justin – “I’m sure this is a ‘it made 1.3 billion or $1.6 million in revenue’ and they spent $25 billion. I’m pretty sure that’s the current scenario.”
