We could build hundreds of thousands of homes for families that need them, but it goes to stealing water, power, and land instead.
Art, too, of course, none of it actually works without that.
Fuck those homeless/hungry/sick people I guess.
There are reports going around that an AR-15 is now cheaper than current RAM sticks. We could sell our RAM sticks and pay Sam Altman a visit.
110 billion more pumped into a company with no sustainable business model in sight 🫧
Nope, it’s a 110 billion IOU…there is no money being passed around. That’s why when this pops. It’s gonna be grizzly.
at first its a pimple, but now its a boil, and growing to a bigger infection, once it pops it will reach the bloodstream.

And also all the military contracts that Anthropic will no longer take
I think the AI porn market might go somewhere. The internet is for porn after all.
I mean, Grok IS the world’s largest source of CSAM, after all, and we know how much Republicans love that.
$110b pumped into a company that’s literally never made a cent.
OpenAI has made revenue.
It hasn’t made profit.
“🤓☝️” everyone knows what they mean
OpenAI literally makes billions of dollars.
Yes they do, but when someone says “thats never made a cent” they dont mean revenue, they mean profit and everyone can understand that they mean profit so there’s no need to point put that revenue ≠ profit.
when someone says “thats never made a cent” they dont mean revenue, they mean profit
No. The statement is ambiguous. I provided clarification.
A counter example to prove my point. No-one claims that Uber has never made a cent.
the hype is the business. scams can be business models.
How much more will DoD pump into it now?
This is absolutely insane to me. AI is destroying society.
Now is the time to stand by your principles. And if you don’t have principles, maybe raise some. Become anti-consumption and remove yourself from capitalism, as much as possible. Hate those people. You should hate them as much as possible.
It sucks too, because the power for pattern recognition and identification behind Machine Learning is incredible, and if we were being more responsible with it, we could be using it only for truly valuable purposes like early cancer detection, assistant tools, proofreading etc, instead of training it to plagiarise other people’s work and kill people somewhere.
100% agree. What alpha fold did, which had to do with protein folding, was awesome. But ya, then comes capitalism and the idiocy and comfort-seeking of society and everything is ruined for everyone…
They want to destroy society, and build a new one in its place. Preferably one, that comes without this pesky feature called “empathy”.
If a RAM stick or my GPU fails in my computer, I’m ruined financially.
I had 32GB ranked ram and one stick failed. I now have 16GB now.
Just go outside. Avoid people, but the rest of it isn’t terrible if you can avoid the rest of humanity.
What are you on about?
Oh you own all silicone production for a couple years?
Yeah you ain’t got shit kid. I own the entire output of humanity from 2035 to infinity and beyond. I declared it was all for me, and a couple really really big wigs agree with me. So that means it is very real, and very legal and very not a monopoly.
So, you wanna rent everything you used to own from me? to bad, you cant afford it. See you in my prison slave camps later sucker.
It’s easy. You buy a set of ram on Amazon and put your old sticks in the box when you return it.
I upgraded half the parts in my computer this way over a year ago. We really need to promote stealing from large corporations. It’s silly how many people are still following the rules of society when they aren’t.
Until they decide to sell it again and the next customer gets what you returned instead of what they ordered
Over a year later. Falls under petty theft which has a statute of limitations of a year in my state. I’m not losing sleep over it.
And this is all theoretical for internet points. I’d never actually do something like that. Never never never. Not even once.
I also don’t weight every fruit and vegetable at self checkout as a potato (lowest cost per weight item usually). I’d never ever do that.
I like you. You have a great mind.
Yes, that’s now I got all the HDDs for my NAS. No remote stealing from Bezos
Nice. Zero victim crime.
The bonus for me is that the GSkill RAM i got is now a part of a class action settlement on their RAM speeds being advertised falsely. No idea how much I can get “back” but gonna try.
Working overtime on taking a little bit back from what they steal from us in taxes alone.
Fuck 110 billion… These people have way too much money to burn. Literally throwing money away for some shit tech that so far hasn’t produced any returns and probably never will.
Yeah seriously, $Billions and $Trillions are too common in the media to have the impact they should have.
This one headline is discussing an investment of $110,000 MILLION Dollars. That’s enough to let an entire football stadium (either US version or everybody else version) of people retire tomorrow.
40 years of 100,000 people working $15 an hour would just barely make that much. Before taxes. And unpaid sick time. Of course. Sorry to be US-centric but we seem to be leading the way in this whole Road To Dystopia thing.
Sam Altman is a money launderer. he’s just holding the money so everyone else can say they don’t have money
I’m not sure this is money laundering (that would imply there’s a bunch of dirty money to get clean). But it is a scheme for sure.
Most of that cash is going to be spent, either directly or indirectly, on hardware from nVidia and now I bet they’re going to use a bunch of cloud services from Amazon too.
Just inflating stock prices all round because for its investment in OpenAI, nVidia probably gets to own part of OpenAI + also one of the biggest end customers for their data center GPUs has more money to either build data centers or rent from existing providers.
I hope altman fell into unreasonable unending depression.
With that much money? Doubt it.
(And no, before you get all preachy, Sam won’t end up poor, just the plebs)
I mean musk said he is often unhappy. I just want people like both mentally suffer worse, maybe have a break down every few hours a day. Felt mentally lost & distancing themselves from help/friendship. Fell into destructive addiction. Or whatever
We are grateful for the support from our partners and have a lot of work to do to bring you the tools you deserve.
What about the ram and storage I deserve?
They’ll have you subscribe to their RAM and storage.
Exactly. Nobody asked for AI.
What we ask for is cheap storage and RAM.
They are taking away something we want, and replacing it with something we don’t want.
What we ask for is cheap storage and RAM.
eh, I look at as: we already paid for cheap storage and ram, but the AI buildouts are gobbling those markets up instead of creating their own supply chains.
The people that didn’t have a chance to buy cheap storage and RAM yet didn’t pay for it, did they? Not everyone bought components before the shortage. I bought a whole beast PC, so I was lucky, but not everyone had such timing.
Naaaa you think you deserve that but in reality you don’t need that. You’ll soon see how their products and tools make ram and storage redundant for you. I’m sure
So now that people are boycotting Open AI over their partnership with the US Department of Defense, will that extend to these corporations who are enabling Open AI and their bad policies?
of course his PROFILE picture is ai GENERATED. i cringe at that cartoonish look that my older bro does with pictures.
It’s a faux studio ghibli stile. Which completely misses what is so good about studio ghibli in the first place.
Its been so since 4o Image released.
the tools you deserve
What did we do wrong to deserve this?
The tools we deserve/need are cheap. A few pieces of wood and an angled blade.
An AR-15 is now cheaper than 64 gigs of RAM…🤔
Honestly we can get the same effect with one large ax and a stump.
I dunno… that requires some training to operate, and it’s REALLY horrid when you miss…
Also it puts up less of a show.
…not if you miss horridly enough.
Don’t forget rope
Two large pieces of wood, and a few 9-inch nails.
Per billionaire.
Letting the South live after the civil war.
I think this is just negging.
I’m an idiot, that goes without saying, but I think that if anything needs another round of investment AND that extra investment is 110 billion of any decently used currency then maybe, just maybe, something is fundamentally wrong with the product in the first place.
However, like I said, I’m an idiot so what do I know.Their current business model depends on keeping the AI hype going on, so from their perspective it is a good investment.
Hype amongst the public seems to be waning. Look at the woman who recently took over Xbox assuring people it wouldn’t get filled with AI slop. They’re starting to realise people don’t want the shit they’re selling. But it’s not like the markets have any correlation with reality.
Wait, you read a CEO statement and believed her? Watch as everything she said turns out to be false. This is an old corporate tactic, put women in power positions just to push them under a bus. Her job is to kill Xbox and take the fall. Microsoft doesn’t want a gaming division anymore. This is why all they do is shutdown studios. They only got in because they feared Sony consoles would compete as cheap computers on the corporate market. It was never meant to go this far.
I didn’t believe her, of course not. But the fact she said it shows they are aware people don’t want their AI bullshit.
That and getting people so hooked on AI that they actually can’t use their own brains, and are forced to use it as the price climbs higher and higher to make it profitable
Don’t be so hard on yourself. Have you heard Altman talk about anything? It’ll make most conscious people feel less bad about themselves.
