"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"
"bro imagine if we could actually use all these cards we bought, we'd be the best at this AI thing"
I'm still waiting for an actual business case. Who's going to consume all this slop? And pay for it at one point?
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.
So many actors in the AI space are admitting to issues that I wonder if they're not trying to blunt the crash.
It's already been proven over and over and over, but this is another point of evidence that the line has no relation with reality, and is entirely made up.
To make more electricity, they should try using some of the hot air that constantly comes out of Nadella’s mouth.
Why the hell are they spending money on things they literally can't use? Who authorized that purchase?
Every card they buy isn't available to a competitor.
Only half joking.
Especially because they are only good for AI, and they rapidly deprecate in value.
Thats the entire point of the capitalist ideology. Ask a christian why they rape children or a Muslim why they pray.
Yeah, okay. If we could pull the reins on this collective AI idiocy a little, that'd be greeeat.
lol holy shit Nadella is such a fucking tool
Is he trying to get our sympathy, because nobody is doing that.
Problem solved
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.
Edit: Just another reminder that capitalism only works when all actors are behaving rationally. There is nothing rational about what's going on in this market right now.
Sorry folks, we're not heading towards The Jetson's.
We're heading towards The Matrix.
Good.
Actually retarded
Ah the E.T videogame strategy.
Can't wait for everyone to bury their ai bullshit in the New Mexican desert.
Good. GFY
I’m sure Microsoft can outspend Joe Shmoe on electricity so just buy more, duh. „Satya Nadella drowning in pussy, Microsoft CEO says” has about as much credibility though.
Hurry up and make the analog computing chips and cut power requirements 1000x or more
It would have been so easy to avoid this. Just buy tons of solar panels from china. But nooo that's clean energy! The evil empire must run on dirty energy only! Cartoon villains.
