This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
"Sorry, my mortgage servicer doesn't accept AI slop as payment, so I'll just take the money"
God this timeline is so fucking dumb
“You can spend your scrip at the company store.”
You burn 16 tokens and what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.
For the company.
OpenAI exec highlights the rising importance of AI compute in tech job compensation.
In other news, Roblox executive thinks that having companies pay employees partly in Robux would be a great idea.
AI companies who can't find anyone to buy their product, swear their employees would rather have their product in exchange for labor rather than money...
Which could easily be used to buy the product no one outside the company is buying.
This is just a way to juice metrics and claim this "compensation" as sales on the books.
And I'm almost positive the "per user growth" they're talking about is just how brain rot addicts will use chatbots for everything once their brain atrophies from not using it. But just by mentioning that they had to admit that overall use wasn't a metric they wanted to talk about.
It's like how a small percentage of drinkers (the alcoholics) buy the vast amount of alcohol. Less people drinking is bad for the company, and a few alcoholics can't sustain the company without being replaced by new addicts.
Edit:
Also, isn't this literally a plot point from Silicon Valley?
Like, their desperation move to get funding at some point was handing out compute tokens, but the only people who wanted to buy it was their competitors because non of the companies had customers?
It’s like a grift card, only redeemable by the employer with your time, without the card.
Yeah, good luck with that.
I can't wait till these companies start falling over so I can stop hearing about their ridiculous shit
They are going full panic mode now. The crash has already begun.
Hey you know what I could use to buy compute or literally anything else
Silicon Valley is buzzing about this new idea: Slavery
FIFY
It's slavery but with AI. (Silicon Valley execs foaming at the mouth from excitement)
How about compensation for making all hardware so expensive? How about compensation to artists for violating their work to train your precious models? How about compensation for the CO2 that they are spewing into to atmosphere?
16 tons and what do you get?
Look at you. You are the cloud now.
Well, this is a fresh kind of hell...
Like all their ideas this one is also recycled.
May as well just pay the bots directly then....
lol inference is already cheap af. Might as well pay money. Dipshits.
