    Usually I don’t judge an organization by their profits, since it isn’t very indicative of its products’ and/or services’ value.

    But yeah, in this case it makes sense and is absolutely hilarious.

        Enough for each to be crafter by luxuary designer personally for each billionaire.

        Or just build a single cheapest one and reuse for each billionaire, giving away $1.5 trillion to the normal people.

        More than we would need for single use on billionaires.

      Good, I don’t want chatgpt to be a good product. I want the experience to suck so the world can stop pretending it’s useful

        Or when people ask about products and options for services, that certain services can pay to be more likely to be mentioned defeating the whole purpose of actual comparison.

    I wish business “journalists” would stop calling these 10 year old companies “startups”.

    It’s like calling that 10-12 year old kid who was still breastfeeding on Game of Thrones “my baby”.

    They did this with Uber, AirBnb, & Spotify as well.

      I think “startup” is an industry term that means something on their relationship with investors. The next step is “unicorn” and in that stage i think a board is formed that can influence the company.

    Building a company on the assumption some technological miracle will fall into your lap might not be the best business plan. Ignoring reality is pretty common in those circles too. Or maybe that’s just living in a different reality from say the bottom 99% of the wealth curve.

    They built a solution in search of a problem, which isn’t uncommon.

    But, the AI can’t solve anything without climbing over the guardrails and hallucinating. Turns out the only thing it’s good for is art, music, and writing, but only if you accept that it’s not very good at any of those, either.

    I think the LLM method is a dead end. I think they’ve all figured that out, and now they’re panicking because they’ve gone neck-deep into debt to fund this virtually useless tech. I hope the entire thing goes tits up this year, and used GPUs flood the market.

      On my opinion, there is absolutely nothing wrong with ai as a thechology. The problem comes from corporations trying to sell it as a solution for non-existent problem, also not caring about that most people dont need it.

      I think the capabilities are alright, it’s just way too expensive to run and now they are struggling to pay for that cost.

        Exactly. The capabilities are nice. The issues come up when we talk price. The capabilities are not $99/month nice. And they’re not “Mark Zuckerberg knows everything I search for” nice, either.

        So we wait and watch the bubble wobble, while I put pennies in my GPU savings jar.
