📌 MAROKO133 Update ai: Elon Musk Got One-Shotted by an Extremely Mean Tweet Terbar

It’s probably not a great feeling to get consistently owned on a website you overpaid billions of dollars for.

X-formerly-Twitter owner Elon Musk suffered a mini-meltdown over the weekend after receiving a deadly broadside from an esteemed literary figure, Joyce Carol Oates, who in a single tweet vivisected his whole persona with cold, surgical brevity.

Oates to the broader public is a prolific award-winning author who’s written over 60 novels, which is probably more than Musk has read cover to cover in his entire life. But the 87-year-old is also prolific on X, where she routinely shares incisive cultural commentary when she’s not knocking down opinionated Philistines a peg or two.

On Saturday, she put Musk in the crosshairs after he wrote a lengthy boast about why he deserved his $1 trillion pay package.

“So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates — scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history,” Oates wrote.

“In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured,” she continued. “The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the ‘most wealthy person in the world.’”

The roast became an instant hit. Musk promptly sought refuge in the replies of his fans who defended him as smart and well-read, claiming that everything she said “can be shown to be demonstrably false with a simple search.” 

“Oates is a lazy liar and… an abuser of semicolons!” he seethed in one post. “Eating a bag of sawdust would be vastly more enjoyable than reading the laboriously pretentious drivel of Oates,” he replied to another (if you find it extraordinarily difficult to believe he’s actually read one of her books, you’re not alone). “Oates is a liar and delights in being mean,” Musk also said. “Not a good human.” 

Clearly, though, the billionaire had been rattled. Shortly after being accused of being an uncultured buffoon who doesn’t watch movies or read books, Musk began posting about watching movies and referencing books. He promptly offered insights like “Great movie,” on a tweet about the 2014 actioner “Edge of Tomorrow,” and “Fifth Element has great style,” on a tweet about the 1997 sci-film “The Fifth Element.” (Musk has a penchant for only providing surface level insights into media, often either missing the point and/or betraying the fact that he’s faking it, such as his faux pas of referring to the protagonist of the classic sci-film “Blade Runner” (1982) as the “Bladerunner.”) He also made a post referencing a famous Voltaire quote, somehow tying it in — unconvincingly — with his AI chatbot, Grok.

Most astounding of all was this spectacular coincidence: after Oates’ roast, users suddenly began seeing ads that featured Musk from a service called “Blinkist,” which provides summarized versions of books for people who don’t read. The ads claimed that Musk “reads a lot.” 

In the aftermath of Musk crashing out, Oates nonchalantly revealed that her intent wasn’t to roast Musk in the first place.

“Truly it was out of curiosity: why a person with unlimited resources exhibits so little appreciation or even awareness of the things that most people value as giving meaning to life,” she observed.

📌 MAROKO133 Breaking ai: OpenAI Is Reportedly Burning a Ludicrous Amount of Cash o

Despite its half-a-trillion-dollar valuation, the reality is that OpenAI is almost certainly burning through cash at an alarming rate.

According to recent filings, the ChatGPT maker lost a whopping $12 billion last quarter alone. Yet, it wants to spend well over $1 trillion over the next several years, once again stoking fears over an AI bubble that could wipe out the entire US economy if it were to burst.

Even its AI video-generating app, Sora, which debuted in late September, is likely costing the company an astronomical amount of money to run, as Forbes reports. The app — which is currently being used to spew a disturbing quantity of largely meaningless AI slop onto the web, but is still only available for a minuscule number of early users — could already be costing the firm $5 billion a year, or roughly $15 million per day, according to the publication’s estimates.

A single ten-second clip could cost OpenAI roughly $1.30, Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Deepak Mathivanan told Forbes.

Even OpenAI’s Sora lead Bill Peebles admitted in an October 30 tweet that the “economics are currently completely unsustainable.”

While we don’t have a strong sense of the accuracy of Forbes’ estimates, as they rely on “several moving targets,” such as fluctuating prices of AI chips, efficiency, and the number of users and videos being generated, the bottom line is that it’s staggeringly expensive to run a large-scale video-generating app.

Using AI to generate video is vastly more resource-intensive than having a tool like ChatGPT output text, which already requires vast amounts of resources.

Besides an enormous and growing carbon footprint, making financial sense of OpenAI’s foray into AI video slop remains difficult. In an early October blog post, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman admitted that the company launched the app in the absence of a sound financial plan to recoup the enormous costs of running Sora, let alone meaningfully address glaring copyright infringement issues that persist to this day.

“It’s a classic internet playbook to not focus on the costs initially so much as building an audience and building an engagement because we’ve seen time and again, these companies can figure out ways to monetize this engagement,” financial group Mizuho analyst Lloyd Walmsley told Forbes.

Late last month, OpenAI started limiting users to 30 free videos per day and started charging $4 for roughly ten additional videos beyond the daily limit.

But even the daily limit could soon go away.

“Eventually we will need to bring the free gens down to accommodate growth (we won’t have enough [graphics processing units] to do it otherwise!),” Peebles tweeted, “but we’ll be transparent as it happens.”

“In the meantime, enjoy the crazy usage limits,” he added.

Apart from blowing billions of dollars on slop memes that are polluting the internet, OpenAI has plenty of other Sora-related fires to put out as well. For one, the company is actively drawing the ire of rightsholders over copyright issues. Last week, a group representing Studio Ghibli, Bandai Namco, Square Enix, and other major Japanese publishers sent a letter to OpenAI demanding that it stop using their copyrighted content to train the video-generating AI tool.

In short, Sora is only the tip of the iceberg of OpenAI’s alarming financial situation. As the company continues to light tens of billions of dollars on fire, the firm is under major pressure to justify its spending commitments.

And at the end of the day, it’s all to generate clips of SpongeBob SquarePants cooking meth and Mister Rogers going on expletive-filled rants.
