"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

This number inflates every time I read it. First it was ten years of hosting cost. Then it's operating costs. Soon it will be ten years of the entire US GDP.

I'd believe they have ten years of hosting costs on hand.

My quick googling says they have 170m in assets and all 180m in annual operating costs. Give or take.
