OpenAI hits $1 trillion in compute deals as AI demand outpaces its revenue - Cryptopolitan OpenAI has signed more than $1 trillion worth of compute deals this year, chasing the infrastructure it says it needs to power services like ChatGPT.

Trillion bucks you say?

Cue the "this is fine" meme.

Could you imagine Napster making this argument and people taking it seriously?

I just had to pay an import duty to receive a gift from my employer (based in Europe).

Yes they reimbursed me for that.

How very American. 😅

Oh this is super common in the United States. Ireland absolutely should not go down this path.

Also... it's OK to not absolutely love everything produced by your favorite artist.

The first time President Trump did the whole trade war thing with China, they retaliated by investing in Brazil's agriculture sector.

The second time, they were ready. The President starts playing games, they simply decided not to participate.

What's your take on the Grok AI thingy constant hewing back to responding in a way that you wouldn't expect an Ewon controlled LLM to respond? Sabotage or some other emergent thing that's hard to control?

It's crazy, I didn't think it was that big a deal; but then you look into it and think, "Who thought this was a good idea?"

A preview for what's to come next year.

“War is about remaking the world to suit the whims of some powerful group over the whims of some other powerful group. The dead are just the sparks that fly from the metal as they grind it down.”

If you liked that quote, you might like the book it's from. On sale now for $2.99!

That is stunningly stupid.

I mean, what's the worst thing that could happen?

It's not like they are going to assign attorneys with no prosectorial experience to address highly dubious and complicated cases against high profile people.

Oh...

My wife travels there on business regularly. I'm sure there are areas that aren't doing well, but it's not like the entire place is a "warzone".

Next time, on DotNetRocks!

Yeah it's all relative!

You going to go on TV and say that they can do it the easy way or the hard way? 🤣

Everything Jason said here is 100% spot on.

🤔

"SOC 2? Folks, let me tell you—nobody knows compliance better than Trump. I could end it, replace it, make it tremendous. But would I? Only if it’s not winning. We love winners. SOC 2? Maybe it stays. Maybe it goes. We’ll see. Believe me."

Yeah, I'm actually pretty stoked about this. Sure it sucks initially when you have to replace cables but man, once everything is the same. Smooth sailing.

So I work remotely in the "Research & Development" department of a software company.

Would the legal team at my company and this landlord have to go "Sharks vs Jets" to figure this out or what?

I smell a startup...

ChristGPT.

(I can tell without looking that this is already a thing.)

I moved to a 16e because nothing matters. 😜

Love the car though.

I guess it will depend on what "control over your feed" look like.

My understanding is that they won't own the algorithm. So if that's the case... isn't this new company essentially just a TikTok client with good name ID?

The latest theory I've heard is that he's "black pilled." If that's the case, good luck trying to understand his politics or motivation.

I've been visualizing political ideology using the tesseract lately and so many things are falling into place for me.

I can't help but think that in his desire to get on TV Kash Patel is going to end up being key in getting a mistrial or acquital for the prime suspect.
