Maybe, it's certainly a possibility. I'm skeptical only because of the sheer amount of spending that Anthropic/OpenAI etc. are committed to. A soft deflation only makes sense to me if they start making a more profit-driven mo

OpenAI did confidentially file their S-1, which costs a ton of money to put together for the bankers and regulators to review. They did test the market and it looks like either the banks or people directly around Altman told him not to move

Respectfully disagree. From my view, the tech industry hasn't behaved in a way that regards long-term interests over short-term interests in a very, very long time. Much of the innovation is simply finding new and creative ways to shri

I don't understand the logic around excluding the training costs and pointing to that as profitability. FOSS models are not that far behind, the day that OpenAI announces that they're done training models is the day that everyone

And this article doesn't even dive into whether the 50% of planned capacity currently under construction is even on schedule (my guess is that it isn't).

Dealing with undocumented legacy systems without access to the original developers is also part of the job, though. I'd estimate that at least 80% of the code I've had to maintain in my career was committed by someone no longer at

This just isn't true. Banks never offload commercial debt to non-bank entities at a discount unless they're under financial duress or they believe the loss is worth more than keeping the debt on the books.
