Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Did you read the article? Getting more eyes on a game where every active player loses you more money is a bad thing.
I’m so honored that one of the fucking tools behind teach my little sister how to drive has decided to join us

I'm not a big business boy, but I think they should have considered the costs of AI before getting to the point of spending $1000/day and taking out bank loans.

did you get lost on the way to LinkedIn?
@Nouvellalia
Are there, or will there be in the near future, backend AI models that would make all this stuff profitable?
If not, that seems bad, business-wise.

What do you think? If there is a way to make the models perform better by let's say factor 10 (and for running a game in parallel you need more than factor 10), would all the companies build massive datacenters with massive power and cooling water needs and hog all the hardware available on the market so that the only RAM available for consumer systems is fucking DDR3 modules?
Or in short: Hahaha, no!
