I love subsidizing these jackoffs energy bills in my own power bill /s. 17c/kwh for me, 3c/kwh for Bezos... From the same supplier.

All to avoid paying taxes.

Why in hell are all these people on a Technology community who clearly don't understand the reason why companies are all-in on the AI thing?

I don't want to pull a "no true scotsman" here, but holy christ. Are any of the people here actually technology enthusiasts? Because there's a lot of technophobes and luddites here.

In fact, I'd say MOST replies to this community are people pooh-poohing Tech.

Forget the lottery. "ChatGPT, how do I create an AI Startup?"

Of course not. My point was that these wealthier-than-god goobers just throw money at anything with the term "AI" attached with abandon, and that seems like a better road to relative wealth than playing the lottery.

Maybe some do. Maybe some dont.

Oh goody! More nameless knockoff garbage at the top of my searches but now less relevant. Can't wait.

Is there an eject button on this hell ride?

Is there an eject button on this hell ride?

Yep. Don't do it though. No way to make things better if you check out early.

There are some things to be said for non-existence

Sadly, they'll gain only the earliest start on NextGen Evil, waste many earth-boiling watt hours doing it and pass the losses on to everyone else via streaming, taxes, whatever.

I hope they lose all their investment
