Can investors remain irrational long enough for OpenAI to remain solvent?

The archive runs Apache Hadoop and Apache Accumulo. All data is stored on HDFS, textual content is duplicated 3 times among servers in 2 datacenters and images are duplicated 2 times. Both datacenters are in Europe, with OVH hosting at least one of them.

To avoid detection, archive.today runs via a botnet that cycles through countless IP addresses, making it quite difficult for grumpy webmasters to stop their sites getting scraped. Access to paywalled sites is through logins secured via unclear means, which need to be replenished constantly: here’s the creator asking for Instagram credentials. Finally, the serving of the website is also subject to a perpetual game of cat and mouse: “I can only predict that there will be approximately one trouble with domains per year and each fifth trouble will result in domain loss.” As of today, archive.today still works, but users are redirected to archive.md.

How is a mom and pop restaurant serving food equivalent to supporting Nazis?

Maybe I’m midunderstanding what a general strike entails.

Doesn’t a general strike hurt private business more than the government?

Right! Which of you fuckers made … mmm nom … these … nom nom … really tasty fairy cakes?

Compliance is calculated with previous years costs

No, that’s just what you spent last year.

Marketing is VERY easy to assign a dollar amount to.

It’s easy to see how much it costs. It’s very hard to determine exactly how much additional revenue any particular campaign creates.

They know what you’re worth

Pick anyone at the C-Level. How much revenue do they bring in? What’s the ROI of a CFO?

ultimately its all built on backs of people who have actually contributed to this world

Being highly unethical doesn’t make it a scam.

Your examples are all commoditized and measurable. Many roles are not this quantifiable.

There is NO JOB in which you are paid to do something of no financial value.

Compliance, marketing, social outreach, branding.

Putting a $ amount on these and other similar roles is very difficult.

But I agree, if the value added is known to be zero or negative then usually no-one is paid to do it.

There are no unprofitable positions or tasks.

Not when they are set up, but they can become unprofitable over time, and get overlooked.

The word you want is oligopoly. It’s only a cartel if agreements are made between them (like opec)

Every job has a metric showing how much money every single task they do creates.

Management accountants would love to do this. In practise you can only do this for low level, commoditised roles.

Saved me typing.

“…and they have a plan”

No they fucking don’t.

It seems to do some transcoding and storage. I suspect there are cpu and database costs that aren’t free.

submit it through the usual channels.

Here is the problem. These channels are heavily gatekeeped (gatekept?). Non standard theories are pushed to fringe publications and not read.

(See continental drift, hand washing and heliocentric model, big bang, etc.)
