> I see you are a long time HN reader, so you should know what AI is. AI is a famously nebulous term that just means whatever the person using it wants it to mean. Recent startups have been using the term as a label for one of two things: - machine-learning algorithms that either don't work as well as linear regressions or just actually are linear regressions. - human-in-the-loop processes (this is what the Watson group at IBM did -- Watson was not AI and was deployed successfully for customers) So I'm not asking what AI is. I'm asking what you are calling AI that isn't general artificial cognition. What is it exactly? What does it do in a novel way that other companies aren't doing? Is it a neural network? Does it learn? > FTX funds non-profits so it doesn't need people to pay for it. People pay nonprofits. If they didn't, the nonprofit wouldn't have any money. "Nonprofit" is a tax designation and a set of regulatory conditions. It does not change the necessity of generating revenue, nor does it prevent the nonprofit from selling products or services to consumers.
