@Doomed_Daniel I mean, recent RAM crunch for a prime example. Not that it's looking certain that OpenAI can actually pay for the quantities of RAM they said they wanted to buy, but even if they could, what exactly is the endgame here? How exactly do you plan to turn a profit with your AI app if nobody can afford the devices you need _to use the AI app_?

@Doomed_Daniel and looking at e.g. FTX... What exactly are the odds that OpenAI is keeping sensible books and it all adds up? They're bullshitting everything else, I'd be _shocked_ if they're not "vibe accounting" as well so far, nobody has called them out on it and they keep getting money blown up their ass but it always runs out eventually

@rygorous There's the theory that the goal is to sell basically terminals to people and let them rent cloud servers to run software on.. At least that's Jeff Bezos' dream: https://www.windowscentral.com/artificial-intelligence/jeff-bezos-says-the-quiet-part-out-loud-bezos-envisions-that-youll-give-up-your-pc-for-an-ai-cloud-version
