OpenAI’s mounting costs — set to hit $1.4 trillion Sorry, but WTF!? $1.4 Trillion in costs? How are they going to make all of that back with just AI? I think there’s only one way they can make this back: if AI gets so good they can really replace most employees. I don’t think it will happen, but either way it’s going to be an economic disaster. Either the most valuable companies in the world, offering services that the next couple of hundred companies in the world depend on, are suddenly bankrupt. Or suddenly everybody is unemployed.

How is a haunted typewriter supposed to replace all those employees?

I’ve tried explaining AI to people before and only could get so far before they fall back on “but it’s magic dude” but I love the idea of explaining it as a hunted typewriter.
