    Like honestly, if they win a Millennium Prize, $22.5M expended for a $1M payout is just all of the AI ecosystem in one story

      @mattmay
      I knew there had to be some bullshit behind their marketing news about this.

        @mattmay This would just make your post worse, but some people have estimated that the true cost of this nightmare is 30 times larger than the official API cost. This would make $600M…

          @mattmay@mstdn.social big companies spend $300-500M yearly on marketing, OpenAI is not different, they throw $22M, plagiarized mathematicians, and brute-forced the solution to install in people mind that chatGPT has surpassed the smartest human in Math, one of the foundational disciplines to understand the universe. It was a really good marketing move, work of the devil, as most marketing is…

            @mattmay note that 22M is only in inference, it does not count any of the investments in RD or in training.

            And it is based on relatively optimistic rating of subsidization. The real cost is probably far larger. Like one order of magnitude larger.

              @mattmay was that the Nature puff piece using Navier-Stokes eqn? The lack of peer review gave it a bad smell 🐀

                  @mattmay Levent Alpöge being employed at Anthropic is somehow even funnier.
