    I wish business “journalists” would stop calling these 10 year old companies “startups”.

    It’s like calling that 10-12 year old kid who was still breastfeeding on Game of Thrones “my baby”.

    They did this with Uber, AirBnb, & Spotify as well.

        Or when people ask about products and options for services, that certain services can pay to be more likely to be mentioned defeating the whole purpose of actual comparison.

      “Sure, that mysterious downstairs rash will probably clear up. But why wait on biology when you could unleash the all-new Ford™ F-150 with a face-melting 720 HORSEPOWER? It doesn’t just drive-it obliterates problems, rashes included.”

    They built a solution in search of a problem, which isn’t uncommon.

    But, the AI can’t solve anything without climbing over the guardrails and hallucinating. Turns out the only thing it’s good for is art, music, and writing, but only if you accept that it’s not very good at any of those, either.

    I think the LLM method is a dead end. I think they’ve all figured that out, and now they’re panicking because they’ve gone neck-deep into debt to fund this virtually useless tech. I hope the entire thing goes tits up this year, and used GPUs flood the market.

    Usually I don’t judge an organization by their profits, since it isn’t very indicative of its products’ and/or services’ value.

    But yeah, in this case it makes sense and is absolutely hilarious.

    They will get the revenue when scalping all their GPUs and nVidiaPUs… and RAM and PSUs …
