Leaked OpenAI financials show $38.5B loss and compute burn

Your argument went from "big number good" to redefining "stupid", and you think that somehow supports your original statement?

What word would you use to describe someone that:

    - told you to put glue on pizza?
    - thinks there's 1 'r' in strawberry?
    - is incapable of stopping terminal flickering? 
    - deletes your production database?
    - bankrupts you trying to scan the entire IPv6 address space of a play network interface?
    - can only attempt to draw a bird on a bike in the most bland and unimaginative style possible yet still completely failing?

All while being given the entire US economy and polluting the only planet we have to do so?

If you still think models can't count the Rs in strawberry you're about a year out of date.

Nice.

I mean, sure you said "LLMs", rather than "LLMs in the last 12 months", and sure, you completely abandoned your original argument, and sure, you ignored the other things listed, and of course everyone knows that list is a comprehensive list of the only failings of genai rather than a honeypot to positively identify you as a shameless shill, but ultimately, the fact that HN chose someone this terrible at making a defensible logical argument to be their favorite genai financial interest mouthpiece is a strong indicator defending the criticisms in the original submission.

If your argument is that LLMs are stupid in the same way that NFTs were stupid I don't think it's worth spending any more time discussing this with you.
