    SMH Did they really think all these investors just wanted to burn 9-figure sums without any serious return?

    i am saying this for about a year now: Altman wants to rule the world.

      Who of the billionaire (and now trillionaires, sigh) fucknuggets does not want to rule the world?

      What else should one do if one already has everything and can’t buy anything else…

        A trillionaire sounds surreal. Imagine having an entire country economy (or a few smaller ones) as your budget.

    1. Build up reliance on AI, which looks really cheap
    2. You can now replace employees with AI so fire away!
    3. You are now completely dependent on AI and a handful of employees
    4. AI company sees they have you and start jacking up rates. If you could afford paying for people before then you have the $ to pay high rates.
    5. Company now wonders why costs are back to where they were before and the AI isn’t working out as expected.

      1. They see people have gone to new companies thatre private unionized and value customers/employees/etc replacing them as they had done with their employees
      2. The company asks for them to come back to be laughed at as the people watch for them to slowly sink and be replaced with many better alternatives to take their place
      3. That is happening right now and we all can make it happen faster
