someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my investors are dyingRIP rationalist moonshot. Takes a special kind of SV-libertarian brainrot to think the world will be saved by a company. Do we have EY’s reaction yet?
It’s March 2025. Everyone has resigned from OpenAI except Altman, a single H1B programmer, 50 lawyers, and the guy who refills the keurig. The company is worth $4 trillion.
I guess in this scenario, Balaji’s fetishized hyperinflation finally happens sometime in the next 6 months.
They’re gonna start announcing real concrete nefarious-ass use cases real soon
World’s least efficient baby mulcher
A Bill Hicks routine manifest:
“What did ya do with your AI today, Sam?”
“Oh, we made ah, we made ah, arsenic ah, childhood food now, goodnight.”
[lays down and snores]
“Yeah, we just said you know is your baby really too loud? You know?”
[snores]
“Yeah, it’ll… you know the mums will love it.”
[snores]
I wouldn’t be shocked at a working agreement with Palmer Luckey’s Anduril to offer AI-assisted god-knows-what to Anduril’s military/surveillance hardware.
EDIT: my brain took a dookie and I mixed up Luckey’s first and last names.
To be fair, Luckey Palmer is an objectively funnier name.
@dgerard So um now we can get on into the sunk cost fallacy phase of “AI”-pre-winter? I mean how much how much VC money have they already burnt to heat up sand at data centers? Does MICROS~1 granting them Azure use count?
Apparently MS gives OpenAI Azure credits, but those are near cost price - so if OpenAI uses them, MS has to spend real money on GPUs and electricity.
MS also has rights to OpenAI’s software. So OpenAI is functionally a Microsoft subsidiary that pretends to be a separate company to insulate MS from blame for the shit OpenAI pulls.
When the music stops can’t MS just let OpenAI go bankrupt and keep the tech?
