OpenAI researcher Will DePue jokes that lab revenues could double if he were stopped from running 8 accounts at once — he wouldn't stop paying, calling frontier models an addiction he and everyone else can't quit. He also prays to the "distillation gods," implying heavy reliance on frontier models for distillation work. The post highlights how dependent power users are on frontier subscriptions and the revenue upside of restricting multi-accounting.
