    1. I never want to hear that reducing climate emissions costs too much ever again.

    2. How are they planning on making it all back. Are all these private investors just gambling that OpenAI will be the ones to achieve achieve ASI? Or are they being told that OpenAI *will* feature promotional content in natural language responses behind closed doors? That’s the only other thing that makes sense as it is a shit sandwich that would make them wildly rich if they managed to shove it down their user’s throats.

      Tbh the funding doesn’t sound that solid. Amazon’s $35B contingent on metrics, and Jenson’s $30B seems in flux based on previous interviews, I think they are just trying to build confidence in hopes that it buys time to change the narrative. Plus I wouldn’t be surprised if the Amazon funding ultimately ends up just being AWS services

    4. Someone should correct me if I’m wrong, but given that all of this comes from Amazon, Nvidia and SoftBank, isn’t this basically these companies indirectly investing in their own share price given how exposed to OpenAI they already are?

    5. I just don’t know what people are seeing in OpenAI outside of LLM that makes everyone want to pour money into it. They have to be showing investors what they can actually do right?

      So many billions and still zero improvement in people lives. Just more porn, more fake and less jobs. What a waste!

    7. 35 of the 50 billion from Amazon requires either an IPO or them to reach AGI THIS YEAR?

      And of course this also has OpenAI saying it will now spend more on AWS?

      Woo, circular deals that will never be completed.

      $110 Billion to any public entity would be profoundly transformative to their function and operation. Literally any US state, let alone city would explode into ***unprecedented financial prosperity*** with this much money.

      OpenAI has less than 10,000 employees, probably only around 7000 by a high estimate. They gathered this money to pay nvidia for hardware so they can train their models again, all betting on the functionally zero chance that they’ll make AGI ***within the next year.***

      It’s a house of cards, and truly wasted money.

      Gotta blow up the bubble good and big so it takes out as much as it can when it bursts.

    10. Disclaimer: I believe AI has the potential to be transformative and highly beneficial. I use it sparingly at work and see a lot of promising developments.

      However, I hope the big AI companies fail and their bubble bursts. They’ve negatively impacted hobbyist PC users, and I consider their business model unsustainable. I fear AI will be viewed in a similar way to colonizers in the future. They are stealing our resources, and when they fail, bringing down the global economy, none of these snake oil-selling tech bros will be held accountable.

      It is such a stupid bubble. Those companies that invested in this and seeing how it is not playing out as they thought, just propping it up as a false ’success‘ by throwing more money in the pit.

      It is South Sea Bubble levels of idiocy. ‚Put money into the stock that does not make any money because of the IDEA of making money‘.

      All these corporations that burn money like this should be taxed to HELL.

    12. Can we stop pretending like this isn’t just billionaires borrowing money from other billionaires in an endless cycle?

    13. RIP to those old heads that don’t know anything about the other AI competition.

      ya know, my life (and most people’s) would be entirely changed for the better if we could get $110,000, but one company can get 1,000,000x as much out of thin air, no biggie. Society got some wacked priorities man…
