"I firmly believe the (economic) AI apocalypse is coming. These companies are not profitable. They can't be profitable. They keep the lights on by soaking up hundreds of billions of dollars in other people's money and then lighting it on fire. Eventually those other people are going to want to see a return on their investment, and when they don't get it, they will halt the flow of billions of dollars. Anything that can't go on forever eventually stops.

This isn't like the early days of the web, or Amazon, or any of those other big winners that lost money before becoming profitable. Those were all propositions with excellent "unit economics" – they got cheaper with every successive technological generation, and the more customers they added, the more profitable they became. AI companies have – in the memorable phraseology of Ed Zitron – "dogshit unit-economics." Each generation of AI has been vastly more expensive than the previous one, and each new AI customer makes the AI companies lose more money:"

"Microsoft "invests" in Openai by giving the company free access to its servers. Openai reports this as a ten billion dollar investment, then redeems these "tokens" at Microsoft's data-centers. Microsoft then books this as ten billion in revenue.

That's par for the course in AI, where it's normal for Nvidia to "invest" tens of billions in a data-center company, which then spends that investment buying Nvidia chips. The the same chunk of money being energetically passed back and forth between these closely related companies, all of which claim it as investment, as an asset, or as revenue (or all three)."

Qui invece c'è una vn di @ebihimes ormai le mie guilty pleasure specialmente se ci sono boschi, umidità, persone che si perdono e natura che ti contamina! In questo non ci sono scelte da operare, c'è solo da leggere e farsi portare dalle vicende. S'è rischiato di vederle sparire da itch.io e steam dopo il putiferio bigottico dei mesi scorsi, ma siamo ancora qui.

I moved accounts from oldbytes.space to here. I exported 225 followers from my old account and imported them here, and now I'm following 181 accounts, with zero information about what happened to the other 44.
That's kind of... not great.
in reply to Andreas (82MHz)

two possible reasons: those instances were not reachable (but the server will keep trying for some days) or the users disappeared without notification. Some (especially old) fedi software don't support move actions.
Some instances also disappear, so you can still see those followers/following in the old instance but the new one can't contact them.
