Comment on Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter
Taldan@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoI wouldn’t have a problem if they were actually investing the money in something useful like R&D
Nearly all the investment is in data centers. Their approach for the past 2 years seems to be just throwing more hardware at existing approaches, which is a really great way to burn an absurd amount of money for little to nothing in return

It’s very corporate, isn’t it? “Just keep scaling what we have.”
That being said, a lot of innovation is happening. It’s incredible how my promising papers come out, and get completely passed over by Big Tech AI. The Chinese firms are picking up some at least, but are kinda falling into local maxima too.
