  • Your link is broken.

    Sorry about that, here is another https://archive.ph/3V0oc

    The gamble is that AI will increase in usage, while becoming more efficient and resisting becoming commoditised.

    But again we already know that is impossible since the economies of scale do not work. Each extra user means a shit ton of extra processing in those Data Centers and, even disregarding the destruction of the planet, nobody will pay that cost just to get 35% hallucinations in their queries.

    Right now, they are literally gambling with the IPOs that they hype will last long enough for them to cash out and let pension plans and other large automated index investors holding the bag.

    This Xmas may not be merry at all...

  • ... and they'll do it again!

  • FWIW the general consensus is that they are just about making a profit

    This is what the tech bros claim (which is obviously convenient so they can lure more suckers investors in); every outside pundit concludes otherwise

    Check this article I received yesterday... in a nutshell, if a company returns less than 7% on investment, they would normally be liquidated by investors. To make it to 7%, AI companies would have to reach a revenue of $2 TRILLION per year (cumulative amongst the big AI players, which are like 5 total)

    Last leaked financials from OpenAI showed $13 Billion revenue and a $21 billion loss

  • "Fuck you, got mine" is one of the true, active and practised American values today

  • Great idea underling... after you are done applying my genius strategy that I just came up with all by myself, lay yourself off so we can hit the quaterly targets and I can buy that third yatch with my bonus

  • Donvict would not have won if it wasn’t for the EC

    The truth is that so many eligible voters chose NOT TO VOTE (almost 110 million people). The presumption here is that most of those people would not have voted for the child rapist but either hated Kamala more or did not mind the child rapist as president enough to mail a envelop

  • Like any day when a non-white American is unlucky enough to have to deal with the Police

  • No, they are now charging by usage.

    Not the actual cost... they are still losing money even in their most expensive tiers. There is just no path to profitability with ANY of the current models, they simply cost more to run than the people they are supposedly trying to replace

  • that is actually true...

  • tell me more about this unwall.app (I honestly had not heard of it before)

    PS: I just went through their page, pretty cool. Thanks for the link and tip

  • The people whom you’re posing the question to (other Lemmy users) aren’t in any position to answer the question, and you (should) know that. Therefore, your “question” wasn’t asked in good faith and was instead merely a rhetorical tool used to “present false or distorted claims by framing them as questions.”

    Since you cannot possibly know what is going on in my head, you are basically just projecting your own intentions here

  • That's what JD and handlers were expecting... why do you think he agreed to this sitting?

  • Same reason I post anything here, to get some feedback.

    I have no proof and zero reason to think the people that reply to my woodworking questions know more than I do, but that is the leap of faith we all do in social media, no?

    So far, one person replied to me with some good points, others just didn't like my post and threw a tantrum. I try to ignore the tantrums and learn from the good posts to the best of my abilities.

  • Sometimes a question is just a question... not a conspiracy theory

  • Fair point... maybe I am just too frustrated to see the small gains

  • I don't, which is why I posted my comment as a question.

    I can tell you I doubt it since I lost track of how many people (here for example) complain bitterly about the big tech companies and still hold active accounts in all of them seemingly unable to stop giving those companies "they hate" all the power they want

  • But 200 people degoogling?

    Well that was not my point... my point is that if a significant number of the people that allegedly hate AI/Google/BigCorpo were to actively get rid of their products, there would be an impact.

    You are right that 200 is nothing but the real problem, IMO, is that people LOVE the show but not the action. I read hundreds of posts everywhere about how we must fight yet nobody seems to want to get off their chairs

  • Who did not know this already?

    The real issue is that nobody seems to care... I mean, the biggest IPO in history just took place, valuing SpaceX (which was in reality a tiny bit of SpaceX, entirely composed of Grok) at almost 2 TRILLION dollars after they showed a 5 BILLION loss in the last quarter

    Reality is for suckers I guess
