Can investors remain irrational long enough for OpenAI to remain solvent?


The archive runs Apache Hadoop and Apache Accumulo. All data is stored on HDFS, textual content is duplicated 3 times among servers in 2 datacenters and images are duplicated 2 times. Both datacenters are in Europe, with OVH hosting at least one of them.
To avoid detection, archive.today runs via a botnet that cycles through countless IP addresses, making it quite difficult for grumpy webmasters to stop their sites getting scraped. Access to paywalled sites is through logins secured via unclear means, which need to be replenished constantly: here’s the creator asking for Instagram credentials. Finally, the serving of the website is also subject to a perpetual game of cat and mouse: “I can only predict that there will be approximately one trouble with domains per year and each fifth trouble will result in domain loss.” As of today, archive.today still works, but users are redirected to archive.md.


This. Academics are avoiding the US. Job seekers are looking elsewhere. Suppliers are not sourcing from the US because it is unstable.


China seems to be open sourcing it’s AI research. It’s US capitalism vs the world.


Right! Which of you fuckers made … mmm nom … these … nom nom … really tasty fairy cakes?


Compliance is calculated with previous years costs
No, that’s just what you spent last year.
Marketing is VERY easy to assign a dollar amount to.
It’s easy to see how much it costs. It’s very hard to determine exactly how much additional revenue any particular campaign creates.
They know what you’re worth
Pick anyone at the C-Level. How much revenue do they bring in? What’s the ROI of a CFO?


ultimately its all built on backs of people who have actually contributed to this world
Being highly unethical doesn’t make it a scam.


Louis argued the opposite and still got cancelled.


Your examples are all commoditized and measurable. Many roles are not this quantifiable.
There is NO JOB in which you are paid to do something of no financial value.
Compliance, marketing, social outreach, branding.
Putting a $ amount on these and other similar roles is very difficult.
But I agree, if the value added is known to be zero or negative then usually no-one is paid to do it.
There are no unprofitable positions or tasks.
Not when they are set up, but they can become unprofitable over time, and get overlooked.


The Iraqi army was completely removed without any bloodshed, not counting any of the actions or events that happened before that moment.
Correct.
It happened in a vacuum where nobody was resistant to the idea of US disarming the Iraq.
Incorrect.


Oh, the US killed thousands of military and even more civilians.
But the order to disband kill the army didn’t make anyone die.
The Iraqi army ceased to exist without blood being shed. Similarly the IDF can be disbanded without any deaths.


The word you want is oligopoly. It’s only a cartel if agreements are made between them (like opec)


No-one was killed by the Coalition Provisional Authority Order 2.
Many iraqi military organizations died that day, but no-one was executed.


The entire Iraqi army was disbanded after the 2nd gulf War.


Every job has a metric showing how much money every single task they do creates.
Management accountants would love to do this. In practise you can only do this for low level, commoditised roles.


Louis was saying he didn’t want to wish death on anyone.
I think it is possible to say “Death to the [state sponsored institution controlled by the Israeli government called the] IDF”
The army can die without any soldiers being harmed.


Microsoft’s technology specialist are top notch regarding their own product. The other 90% are sales(wo)men and their managers.


Windows is about 10% of Microsoft revenue
He could give all of the poor people some of his tesla shares.
