This is no longer about money, it's about power.

This is no longer about money, it's about power.
- dTal 9mo agoMoney is power, and nothing but.
- NoOn3 9mo agoBut power is not only money.
- JumpCrisscross 9mo ago> This is no longer about money, it's about power This is more Altman-speak. Before it was about how AI was going to end the world. That started backfiring, so now we're talking about political power. That power, however, ultimately flows from the wealth AI generates. It's about the money. They're for-profit corporations.
- wtetzner 9mo agoHas AI generated any wealth?
- alansaber 9mo agoThere'd be a recession otherwise, no?
- californical 9mo agoI think they meant the resulting LLMs, not the speculation of AI which is currently the biggest driver right now

- alansaber 9mo agoKind of? Assuming OpenAI was actually 2-3 years ahead of other LLM companies, it would be hard to put a value to that tech advantage
- WarmWash 9mo agoIf AI achieves what these guys envision, money probably won't mean much. What would they do with money? Pay people to work?
- tsunamifury 9mo agoPay them to dance.
- fragmede 9mo agoI'm not sure what you're getting at. Dancing is a profession, and people do get paid to do it.
- tsunamifury 9mo agoWoosh doesn’t even begin to describe it.
- fragmede 9mo agoYes, please kindly explain.
- tsunamifury 9mo agoYou get it. To everyone who thinks ai is a money furnace they don’t understand the output of the furnace is power and they are happy with the conversion even if the markets aren’t.
