This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I can't wait till these companies start falling over so I can stop hearing about their ridiculous shit
It starts to sound like the Romans giving out VIP seats for the Colosseum while you see the smoke and the first flames on the horizon.

If you have a 401k, selling "Large-Cap" indexes or "Full market" indexes can help. (and buying something else, don't leave it uninvested, obviously).
These dudes seriously seem to have zero clue about being a human being.
"Sorry, my mortgage servicer doesn't accept AI slop as payment, so I'll just take the money"
Salary is 64GB of virtual ram
😊😁😂🤣
Can't they just pay me in NFTs?
“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.
God this timeline is so fucking dumb
Awesome! Now they can lose money and get wrong answers at the same time!
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?
;-)
A new variation of "Eat your own dog food" 😃
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.
Yeah, I make 100,000 robux per year, get in bitches
It’s like a grift card, only redeemable by the employer with your time, without the card.
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?
Sort of. It was more of a crypto token and the competitor was buying them all up so they could control over 50% and effectively break Pied Piper's system.
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)
Getting high on their own supply again I see.
Hey you know what I could use to buy compute or literally anything else
They are going full panic mode now. The crash has already begun.
16 tons and what do you get?
Yeah, good luck with that.
Well, this is a fresh kind of hell...
Like all their ideas this one is also recycled.
The only thing they do that isn't increasing pollution
Look at you. You are the cloud now.
lol inference is already cheap af. Might as well pay money. Dipshits.
May as well just pay the bots directly then....
