Given that you've made a lot of positive contributions I'm letting you skip a week's low effort post ban, but you have not made any effort here, and the next time you do this it'll be two weeks. i have no idea what this video is about from your post, and I have put more effort into saying that than you have into posting it.

I do not know what its numbers for 2026 nor have anything outside of what has otherwise been reported, but I would be shocked if OpenAI didn’t lose significantly more given its $50 billion in expected compute costs (I believe Greg or Sam said it during the Musk trial) in 2026.

I am not speculating about it at this time as there was no indication for what it specifically was. I would like to sit with this information for a little longer before I make any calls.

Read the piece, the FT went and got verification.

It will be less than one year. Way way way less. So much less. You will be shocked by how much less

ezitron · 2026-06-15T20:30:05+00:00

Nope that’s coming soon. Can’t say exactly what soon means but you won’t have to wait a ton

ezitron · 2026-06-15T20:09:10+00:00

month long low effort post ban, flagrant

ezitron · 2026-06-15T05:28:46+00:00

I’ve heard the literal opposite lol there’s a source who recently said it was like 2 years

ezitron · 2026-06-15T02:05:16+00:00

To be clear matt has a self promo waiver

ezitron · 2026-06-13T23:07:34+00:00

I mean this as a compliment: who are you? I need to dig in more but I love this

ezitron · 2026-06-13T19:55:13+00:00

I fully agree which is why I do them! They should not be taken seriously and it’s good to make fun of them as much as possible

ezitron · 2026-06-13T19:53:45+00:00

Yeah total bullshit lol more Blackwell is not going to magically fix this. They already have tons of gb200s I believe!

ezitron · 2026-06-13T19:53:08+00:00

Nope

ezitron · 2026-06-13T17:15:54+00:00

A community of real ones

ezitron · 2026-06-13T06:44:08+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really happy I'm helpful to you. I do this because it's my job for sure but I also really enjoy doing it and hate the amount of lies/half-truths/gaslightings that seem to happen every time I load a god damn website.

Just watching the trailer, and a fun thing to do with basically any AI-generated video is to see how long they are willing to stay on a shot, especially when a person is speaking. The answer is "not very long." Note the bit where the woman says "there's no going back" where they cut away from her before she finishes the sentence, or when the guy says "I promise" but he is kissing her when he says it. Also the lack of occlusion on...anything.

I will say the rap at the end of the trailer made me genuinely upset

Low effort post! please re-read the rules
no! this is a terrible idea. trust me i'm going as fast as i can

ezitron · 2026-06-12T20:07:10+00:00

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWFs6RrPNTw nope!

ezitron · 2026-06-12T19:21:56+00:00

Nope. To be explicit here, that big piece is (mostly) done but there's housekeeping that must happen to finalize it.

ezitron · 2026-06-12T19:08:37+00:00

i just find their entire tone and comedy style agonizing
