Can someone that lies better than me start-up a fake AI Company that's real purpose is to take all the memory and chips they have access to and sell them at a loss to normal people?
Not only would the prices come down , but we'd be actively screwing over all these giant companies that invested.

For that matter, how much does it cost to start a RAM manufacturer?

Naaaa you think you deserve that but in reality you don't need that. You'll soon see how their products and tools make ram and storage redundant for you. I'm sure

And how much of that 110 billion is real money and also isn't just rotating money that OpenAI sent to them?

Its not 110 billion up front. Its setup to hit 110 billion in several stages if they hit certain metrics like AGI or going public.

The first stage is something like 35 billion based on reports. 15 billion from Amazon, then 10 billion each from Nvidia and Softbank. Looks like Microsoft sat this round out since they arent name checked:

All of this adds a little more anxiety to OpenAI's alleged $100 billion funding round which, as The Information reports, Amazon's alleged $50 billion investment will actually be $15 billion, with the next $35 billion contingent on AGI or an IPO:

Under the terms of the investment, which are still being negotiated, Amazon would initially invest $15 billion into OpenAI, these people said. The other $35 billion could hinge on OpenAI reaching AGI or going public, the people said. The proposed Amazon investment is part of OpenAI’s current funding round, which could top $100 billion at a valuation of $730 billion before the financing.

And that $30 billion from NVIDIA is shaping up to be a Klarna-esque three-installment payment plan:

In addition, SoftBank and Nvidia each plan to invest $30 billion in three installments through the year as part of the round, said the people. Microsoft had been expected to invest low billions of dollars, The Information previously reported, but it could invest a smaller amount or none at all, according to two of the people.

Still a fuckton, but as usual Altman is hyping something that hasent actually happened.

Exactly. Nobody asked for AI.

What we ask for is cheap storage and RAM.

They are taking away something we want, and replacing it with something we don't want.

Ballpark $100,000,000,000 and five years per factory.

Modern semiconductors are very complicated to produce.

eh, I look at as: we already paid for cheap storage and ram, but the AI buildouts are gobbling those markets up instead of creating their own supply chains.

NVidia, AWS, and SoftBank are all involved in data center construction. Wonder how much of the $110B are essentially 'store credits' that just cycle back to them?

Look, it's simple. In capitalism it works like this:

Money = more money

Society = money

You = society

More society = more money

Society = more money

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It's easy. You buy a set of ram on Amazon and put your old sticks in the box when you return it.

I upgraded half the parts in my computer this way over a year ago. We really need to promote stealing from large corporations. It's silly how many people are still following the rules of society when they aren't.

Maybe they are making it harder for us to get ram just to prevent us from running llms on our own hardware.

The people that didn't have a chance to buy cheap storage and RAM yet didn't pay for it, did they? Not everyone bought components before the shortage. I bought a whole beast PC, so I was lucky, but not everyone had such timing.
