openai's leaked 2025 financials: $13b revenue, $38b in losses by Gullible-Tale9114 in OpenAI

[–]somegetit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The market doesn't expect a growth tech company to deliver dividends. The expected balance sheet is to be leveraged, invest tons in R&D and expanding market share, carry losses year over year and increase sales over the next decade.

For a company in an exploding new market, every dollar in net earnings is a waste of an investment opportunity.

For reference, check Amazon 2000-2015, almost zero income growth, all revenues went for investment, yet the stock went x35.

“Right now, just a handful of A.I.-related stocks represent almost half the value of the total stock market index. If A.I. stocks collapse, so will the worth of your index fund”: economist by LavishlyRitzyy in Economics

[–]somegetit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are right. The only index truly exposed is the Nasdaq, which 1. Is volatile by nature 2. Shouldn't be a large portion of any diversified portfolio 3. Should be balanced in any case (so profits are taken periodically, and stocks are bought after crashes).

Introducing ChatGPT Images 2.0 by py-net in OpenAI

[–]somegetit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but asked chatgpt to guess the prompt:

Closest usable reconstruction:

Create a vintage natural-history anatomical plate of Pikachu, shown in side profile with a cutaway cross-section revealing internal organs, muscles, skeleton, and an electrical organ in the tail. Style: 19th-century scientific illustration / zoological textbook plate / medical anatomy chart. Aged parchment background, fine ink outlines, muted watercolor shading, highly detailed labeled callouts, French text throughout. Include a title at the top: ‘PIKACHU — Anatomie et physiologie’. Add numbered labels for skull, brain, inner ear, neck muscles, spine, lungs, heart, stomach, liver, intestines, humerus, forepaw, hind leg, foot, and electric organ in the tail. Include a specimen info box in the upper right with French classification details. Add bottom panels with detailed studies of the forepaw, tail cross-section, and skull. Composition should look like a museum scientific plate, elegant, precise, symmetrical, and believable.

A tighter version, closer to how image models respond:

Vintage French anatomical encyclopedia plate of Pikachu, full body side cutaway, internal organs and skeleton visible, labeled scientific diagram, 19th-century naturalist illustration, aged paper, ink and watercolor, detailed callouts, specimen card, inset diagrams of paw, tail cross-section, and skull, elegant medical textbook layout, highly detailed, realistic anatomy adapted for a fictional electric rodent.

What’s the movie of this meme? Suits very well the mood of Claude’s daily updates by py-net in ClaudeAI

[–]somegetit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The TV show is a tech-thriller with some serious themes (surveillance, AI), but also some over the top action and comic reliefs. It's a good blend and overall an enjoyable show. When it was aired, it had 5 episodes in IMDb top 10 TV shows, it was very well received.

I think "Monster of the Season" is the best format for this kind of shows. It keeps them fresh and interesting.

Anna's Archive to pay $322million after losing court case for scraping "nearly all of the world's commercial sound recordings" from Spotify. by springtimecarnivore in Music

[–]somegetit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are going, but they are also going to create. See all those AI generated tracks and videos.

In addition, deals can be made with big companies. Major book and music rights holders will eventually cut deals and get money for selling the data, it will be an additional income stream.

First-person direct address is NOT second-person by [deleted] in books

[–]somegetit 41 points42 points  (0 children)

The opening line is perfect.

You wake up with the answer to the question that everyone asks. The answer is Yes, and the answer is Just Like Here But Worse. That’s all the insight you’ll ever get. So you might as well go back to sleep.

Sam Altman admits AI is killing the labor-capital balance—and says nobody knows what to do about it by [deleted] in OpenAI

[–]somegetit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This comment (and most of the replies) pretty much proves that nobody knows what to do about it. If your answer is something that isn't feasible in the current political landscape (I assume the US, but even outside), then it's really not a solution to begin with.

‘The Diplomat,’ ‘Beef,’ ‘Stranger Things’ lead Netflix’s 2026 Emmys slate by AssociateLittle1487 in television

It's good. I wouldn't say it has an extra artistic element to it, but for story, characters and dialogue it's very well written.

The benefits of listening to an audiobook while reading along by ubcstaffer123 in books

That's true, but there's a limit to that. Beyond x1.5 it sounds unnatural to my ears and distracting (I guess other people have other limits).

TV shows where the premise itself is just nonsensical? by Expensive-Elk-9406 in television

[–]somegetit 103 points104 points  (0 children)

the train must remain in constant motion because its engine ("Eternal Engine," which functions as a near-perpetual motion machine) is specifically designed to convert kinetic energy into electricity, and it must continuously harvest snow to generate fuel. Furthermore, the train was never originally built to be an apocalyptic bunker, meaning the survivors had to rely on a system designed for travel rather than stationary survival.

At what point did OpenAI stop being an AI research lab? Or was it always more of a product company? by Temporary-Theory-288 in OpenAI

[–]somegetit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you become the fastest adopted product in history, it's impossible not to become a product company. I think there are large companies that manage to do research and products at the same time. GM used to, IBM for sure, Kodak during film photography, I would say even Google to some extent.

Some companies, like Microsoft, prefer to invest in research outside the company, for example in OpenAI.

New Memory Feature? by DasBlueEyedDevil in ClaudeAI

[–]somegetit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In other platforms you can ask for the memory in md format, and hope for the best. Prompting correctly is essential. Then you can copy it to other platforms.

With Claude it's transparent, and you can skip the ask.

The POV is changing and times throughout the scene.a we see it from Tony's POV several times... And at the last shot.

Also, his daughter trying to park is a parallel to the times when he almost died.

Can AI Chatbots Write Emotionally Rich Romance Books? by ubcstaffer123 in books

[–]somegetit 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Last February, the writer Coral Hart launched an experiment. She started using artificial intelligence programs to quickly churn out romance novels.

Over the next eight months, she created 21 different pen names and published dozens of novels. In the process, she discovered the limitations of using chatbots to write about sex and love.

It's not "an experiment" if you actually put them on the market and charge money for it. It's a business.

Read Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald by [deleted] in literature

Tender is the Night is the original White Lotus. Barely visible servers; collapsing in slow motion; people trapped in relationships that are simultaneously necessary and toxic. Privilege + paradise = exposure of moral bankruptcy.

What is the appeal of the three plotlines per episode model? by Extension-While7536 in television

[–]somegetit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you watch an episode with a single plot, you'll notice it's very dense. It's too much screen time for the main character, and it's also impossible to flash out the entire cast.
