Token Gremlin(@TokenGremlin):OpenAI seems to be dealing with a pretty ugly compute shortage right now, and I’m not saying that just because of these pop-ups. I mean the broader pattern I’ve been watching over the last few hours. Pro is basically becoming the new Plus, and Plus is becoming the new Free. At this rate, I can finally start calling Pro users “casual, non-technical users.”
