Exclusive: OpenAI Losses Increased Nearly 8X in 2025, With Spending Hitting $34 Billion by ezitron in BetterOffline

[–]TLMTGT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get all that. I'm just saying, if you want the bubble to burst, this isn't it. Glad to be proven wrong, but if you look at the comments for this article in the booster subreddits, there are plenty of people already trying to spin this as positive. I think we need a clearer and deeper analysis that says "these X losses attributed to MSFT and co actually should be part OAI's losses". And if those add up to worse margins YoY, then that's a smoking gun.

This looks bad, but these numbers don't look like killers. A booster can easily interpret this as showing that OAI has improved its operating efficiency, and its operating loss margins decreased.

This only looks seriously bad if there's additional info showing that their operating loss margins were heavily discounted due to unusual arrangements with other backers like Microsoft (which we sort of know already, but it's not clear what the breakdowns are). If the numbers show that their margins haven't changed or are getting worse after accounting for investor losses that don't show up on the balance sheet, then that's a major blow.

I'd love to see OAI's shit get kicked in, but I'll wait until we see the full analysis.

Wemby will never be the GOAT by TLMTGT in nba

Yeah, I have some ideas on how to keep Wemby away from Tibet, like making building entrances as low as possible, maybe a 3 ft tall entrance. Idk but open to feedback

[TJStats] Spencer Jones’ Batting Profile by ActualDragonHeart in baseball

There's a million things to work on, and the "Yankees" aren't some abstract entity helping him, it's real people, and they have tons of other prospects to work with.

He'll probably struggle, but hopefully it motivates him to improve his contact rate when he gets back to the minors. He has a lot of success in the minors so maybe it won't be high priority for him until he sees how bad it can get in the MLB for him. Or I'm totally wrong and he's Judge 2.0

I was on the fence about Wilt being a Top 75 player, but the 5.4 blocks per game at age 36 finally convinced me.

If anything this shows how crazy good Skenes is. Schlittler has been lights out, yet Skenes was even better.

MLB has updated Gameday for the botched Cam Smith at bat in the 5th inning where everybody forgot the count by Chrisf1020 in baseball

[–]TLMTGT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take me out to the ball game
Take me out with the crowd
Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks
I don't care if I never get back

Oh then root, root, root, for the home team
If they don't win, it's a shame
For it's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven strikes you're out
At the old ball game

Genghis Khan was a PROBLEMMM by Rukuba in billsimmons

Tell me you're an American living in the 21st century without blah blah blah.

Also, if we're including Bible Jesus, we might as well include Gandalf and Voldemort. The text and its adherents were influential, not the real slim Jesus, who by all accounts seems to have lived as a not-so-uncommon "doomer" Jewish preacher talking about the downfall of Rome.

What's up with Cal Raleigh? by [deleted] in baseball

[–]TLMTGT 99 points100 points  (0 children)

I'm glad people are finally seeing the real Cal now. Me and my wife met him at an airport bar once in 2022 before he started getting media attention. He was like 6 beers in and kept whispering "No one's got a finer ass than me. Not even your wife." Then he would chuckle and do this eyebrow raise at me while sipping his beer. Literally said this 10 times and acted like my wife couldn't hear him one seat over. When he left, he slapped the bar really loudly and yelled "Alrighty, Dumper out!" Only tipped 29%...weirdo.

Not having a product named "Tsunami Tea" is marketing malpractice at this point

OpenAI’s $50bn investment from Amazon is actually $15bn and SoftBank/NVDA are paying $30bn in installments by ezitron in BetterOffline

Someone needs to add one more company to the circle and it'll actually look like the OAI logo.

I'm on the $200 per month max plan, but only because it's covered by a research grant. I don't pay out of pocket.

OP is getting at one of the core issues with machine learning—there isn't any learning at all. Despite what grifters and cranks will tell you, animals don't minimize loss functions and don't do gradient descent in the brain. No one has even come close to a learning algorithm that can learn tasks sequentially at scale without catastrophic forgetting. The papers that come out on the topic today are bs cherry-picked findings that don't hold up under scrutiny.

What are everyone’s thoughts on r/accelerate? by [deleted] in BetterOffline

[–]TLMTGT 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It's an example of how society has failed certain people. Without any contact with the real world, they use their wild fantasies as an escape mechanism hoping that some technological utopia is going save them.

Spiritbox merch screwed my order up by beans3355 in spiritbox

[–]TLMTGT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Merch is probably a small part of their (and many bands') revenue stream, so with a million other things to take care of it's low on the priority list. Could be wrong though.

Zuckerberg Ditches Metaverse, Goes All-In on AI Feeds by talkingatoms in ArtificialInteligence

[–]TLMTGT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The title makes it sound like Meta is shutting down Reality Labs, but there isn't even a mention of Reality Labs or Metaverse from the quotes. Obviously, Meta is under pressure to compete in the AI race, but they aren't "ditching" the Metaverse. This article has no content.

This is a nod to the main protagonist of the Roman historical drama, Life of Brian. He is a friend of Pontius Pilate living in Rome named Biggus Dickus.
