a variation on the popular all modern digital infrastructure meme. a big stack of pieces is very unstably balanced on top of four small pieces. everything would fall down if just one of the pieces is moved even a tiny bit. the pieces are labelled "cloudflare", "Amazon us-east-2", "some Azure zone or another", and "and open source project you hadn't even heard about". a text to the side says "with apologies to Randall Munroe and countless other people"

Early in my blogging history, I was disgusted by Larry Summers. Somehow my revulsion did not hurt his career at all, but now Epstein's favor might have some consequences.

#AI #OpenAI #Google

Over the past year, some analysts and tech industry critics have expressed increasing skepticism about a web of $1.4 trillion in deals surrounding Google competitor OpenAI in particular. The company has committed to spending $1.4 trillion on infrastructure over eight years, while it expects to generate around $13 billion in revenue this year. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told reporters at a private dinner in August that investors are “overexcited” about AI models and that “someone” will lose a “phenomenal amount of money.”
