The company plans to offset this by growing its cheaper, ad-supported ChatGPT Go tier from 3 million to 112 million subscribers — a 3600% increase. The author argues the math doesn't add up: even at full projected growth, OpenAI would still fall $155 million short in revenue, while also massively increasing its burn rate. The timing of the leak is noted as suspicious given a WSJ report that OpenAI had already missed revenue and user targets. 138 29 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/ai-is-really-weird-lmlltzrmc "AI Is Really Weird") Article Where's Your Ed At · 23w AI Is Really Weird A critical analysis of the AI industry's current state, arguing that the hype far outpaces reality. Key points include: AI 'agents' are fundamentally just chatbots connected to APIs with limited real-world capability; LLM-generated code creates security vulnerabilities and review backlogs rather than productivity gains; AI shows no meaningful presence in productivity data despite hundreds of billions in investment; Microsoft labels Copilot 'for entertainment purposes only' while selling it to governments; Anthropic and OpenAI use non-standard accounting to obscure massive losses, with Anthropic's rapid revenue growth figures appearing mathematically inconsistent with its CFO's sworn testimony of $5 billion in lifetime revenue; and mainstream media largely ignores or normalizes these financial red flags. 66 3 3. 3 [](https://daily.dev/posts/four-horsemen-of-the-aipocalypse-wy0inbzdf "Four Horsemen of the AIpocalypse") Article Where's Your Ed At · 21w Four Horsemen of the AIpocalypse Ed Zitron argues the AI industry is in a dangerous bubble, presenting four major warning signs: Anthropic's chronic service outages and degraded model quality (Claude Opus 4.7 reportedly worse than 4.6), the revelation that Claude Mythos was held back due to capacity constraints rather than safety concerns, NVIDIA selling more GPUs than can physically be installed with only 15.2GW of data center capacity actually under construction through 2028, and AI inference costs spiraling out of control — with some companies spending up to 10% of headcount costs on LLM tokens. Microsoft is moving GitHub Copilot to token-based billing after costs nearly doubled week-over-week, and Anthropic has already shifted enterprise customers to per-token API rates. Zitron contends that AI revenues are massively overstated through fraudulent ARR accounting, that both Anthropic and OpenAI are burning billions while providing subsidized, unreliable services, and that the entire industry's survival depends on infinite venture capital rather than genuine economic value. 40 11 [See all Where's Your Ed At archives](/sources/wheresyoured/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/wheresyoured/best-of/2026/04#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/wheresyoured/best-of/2026/04","name":"Best Where's Your Ed At Posts — April 2026","description":"The most upvoted Where's Your Ed At posts from April 2026, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/wheresyoured/best-of/2026/04#items","numberOfItems":3,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/openai-projects-chatgpt-plus-subscriptions-to-drop-by-80-from-44-million-in-2025-to-9-million-in-20-qtamgxsbm","name":"OpenAI Projects ChatGPT Plus subscriptions to drop by 80% from 44 Million in 2025 to 9 Million In 2026, Made Up Using Cheaper Subscriptions (Somehow)"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/ai-is-really-weird-lmlltzrmc","name":"AI Is Really Weird"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/four-horsemen-of-the-aipocalypse-wy0inbzdf","name":"Four Horsemen of the AIpocalypse"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Sources","item":"https://daily.dev/sources"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Where's Your Ed At","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/wheresyoured"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/wheresyoured/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"April 2026"}]}]} ```
