So they are just slapping random price tags on things now. It’s a database of AI questions. They have paid 13 billion dollars for a database, and everyone’s acting like that’s a perfectly rational sensible thing to do. No one in the financial industry has any sense anymore.

A company that’s only product is something that people either don’t want or actively hate has paid an eye-watering amount of money for a database to train their product on, this training will have no effect whatsoever on whether people want it.

I have this nice bridge with lots of training examples if anybody’s interested, 100 trillion dollars please

not everyone has a hate boner for AI

It’s an expensive toy that might become a viable product in a decade that doesn’t mean it’s a valuable company today. Irresponsible spending like this is exactly what led to the dot com bubble.

its a useful tool for me doing research.

What kind of research do llms actually help with?

In my experience, if the answer can’t be found in the top google results, the AI simply makes shit up.
