"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.
"Fabs" = chip making factories, at least based on my reading of the article.
Also, Jesus-
OpenAI’s business model, as it exists today, doesn’t really inspire confidence, as it seems to exist on the promise of ‘jam tomorrow.’ Specifically, the firm has an income of approximately $3 billion per year, which is put in deep shade by its $7 billion annual expenditure.
Altman is clearly a charlatan. He needs to be shamed and ignored out of existence.
Where’s the lie?
Saying that a fab costs 200 billion when they usually cost from 10 to 20.
36 fabs is also very probably stupid as hell, assuming you want anything modern.
The actual equipment it takes is pretty seriously limited, to the best of my understanding.
There was a slight bonus in there for him to, genius doesn't work for free
Wait, genius!? I thought we were talking about Sam Altman?
