You merely paid $100 for the privilege of throwing it away before it wears out.

It doesn't have cancerous growth curves demanded by those trying to hit an exponential jackpot every quarter, but the economy will function just fine.

The only way that would make sense for AMD is if they know OpenAI won't be around much longer after they pay for the GPUs.

They're promising thousands of jobs, when it's literally eight permanent full-time jobs.

Those are all temporary jobs with temporary benefit. If you want to see what those datacenters are like in the long term... check out Grok's Memphis facility. Less than a dozen vehicles in the parking lot.

Would you drink warm vomit for $100,000 to donate $1,000,000 to a bunch of blind kids so they can see again?

All the ads will be displaying colorful tropical birds and fish.

That sounds pretty smart.

If a parent gives their child alcohol, the parent is punished. If a parent buys their child a gun and the child commits crimes, in many jurisdictions, including gun-loving red states, the parents are criminally liable. Why is social media any different?

All the good parts of AI will be tainted with the irrational exuberance of "let's spend a trillion dollars because the chatbot can replace all your employees and replace all actors and artists and musicians". Well, I'm sure the parts that are beneficial to marketing departments will remain, because companies are literally willing to spend billions of dollars to increase personalized point-of-sale potato chip conversions 300%. That 300% is impressive. Pay no attention that means they sold three small bags of potato chips that netted an extra $0.37 of profit, total. Focus only on the 300% gains.

That's what they're *paying* for compute time. They're not earning a trillion dollars. Oh wow.

And still not turning a profit. Wild times.

If enough returns of defective items pile up, the retailers and manufacturers will be forced to act.

Since all the processing is happening in the cloud, they can use cheaper hardware in homes, and ARM is the future and as a forward-looking company they're going that direction that everyone else went, so, uh, because of the environment you need to buy new hardware and throw out your old hardware.

Microsoft is addicted to the crack of subscriptions, so every single game will be a separate subscription, streamed from the cloud, to dedicated specialty hardware, or perhaps downloaded before each use. Each loading screen takes 17 hours.
