can anybody even draw a line between them and OpenAI at this point?

I wondered where they'd find the bailout, and there it is. We may boil the ocean but at least we'll get to pay to make flawed imaginary copies of the past.

An actual Stargate prob costs half that & is way cooler

Hahaha you've been right about a lot of things, @edzitron.com, but this is effing SoftBank we're talking about here--their investments have been (checks notes)... Hmm

These idiots really can’t think up names for their stupid schemes that aren’t from sci fi

You know, I'm starting to think that maybe running the same fucking shitty software with increasingly grotesquely Earth-burning hardware isn't going to yield better results.

This is like buying bigger TVs in the hope Kingdom Hospital suddenly becomes good

I laugh at the notion that AGI will be superior to human intellect when it will take 5 gigawatts to power. Pretty sure human brains run on a lot less. But this whole AI grift cult is insanity. I wonder if we will see the reemergence of Earth First type action against AI data centers.

mrmunchertoyou.bsky.social•57 days ago

I maybe give these gobshites too much credit, but they have to know that they're just pissing away money on nothing because the shit doesn't work anyway. Big fucking Potemkin datacentres is what I'd do, it'll make no odds and none of the lying bastards at the top will ever admit to being gulled

"Yeah, this thing? Costs eleventy billion to build, running costs are 600 grand a second, it does 65 billion petaflops. No, you can't inspect it, it's all proprietary tech. Trust me".

Look Sam Altman in the eye and dare him to call my bluff

julianlepke.bsky.social•57 days ago

on the bright side apparently MAGA people are mad that it could be used to design mRMA vaccines

orchidorkidum.bsky.social•57 days ago

Oh for sure, Altman types are pure grifters and don’t believe in any of this. But they have been able to con a lot of technically sharp folks to work for them and a lot of them appear to be true believers in AGI/accelerationism. Weird shit that will be an economic disaster when it finally implodes.

putting Masayoshi Son in charge of their financial operations is possibly the biggest red flag here (of many)

this is the same dude who wrote Adam Neumann a check for ~$4 billion after a 15 minute largely theoretical conversation and whose flagship fund was down $32 billion in 2023

timreha.bsky.social•57 days ago

LOL!

thedimpsler.bsky.social•57 days ago

Oh man I can’t wait for Masayoshi Son’s crazy ass to drain the federal reserve, it’s gonna be funny watching America die like this

edzitron.com•57 days ago

cherri.tv•57 days ago

edzitron.com•57 days ago
