These guys are openly admitting that all these investments are going into hot air. Altman has also already admitted we’re in a bubble. But it doesn’t matter because the line goes up anyway.
Why the hell are they spending money on things they literally can't use? Who authorized that purchase?
"True our business plan is trash, but if we had infinite energy it would scale."
...ok? That isn't a flex?
No, you don’t understand! If you use our product to ask it about things you don’t know anything about, its answers are indistinguishable (to you) from an expert opinion, even when it’s wrong. This is a pure win for society with no down sides!
As an engineer, I definitely could think of a lot of cool ideas that'd fix problems if I just had unlimited energy or infinite resources.
However, since I'm not a CEO I don't get paid for said "what ifs"
Yeah, okay. If we could pull the reins on this collective AI idiocy a little, that'd be greeeat.
Chips that are really only competitive for a year are sitting on shelves. Good thing they reduced consumer GPU capacity to make these. The rest of us might be paying reasonable prices otherwise.

Hurry up and make the analog computing chips and cut power requirements 1000x or more
Problem solved
