That so old-hat. The new phrase is "I'll lend you the money to rent it".

Reminds me of that classic WSBs user who discovered an "infinite leverage" exploit in the RobinHood trading platform: https://www.vice.com/en/article/a-robinhood-exploit-let-redditors-bet-infinite-money-on-the-stock-market/

Edit: it did not go well at all

I used to point out that mutualism can actually be good in nature. But this isn't that.

This is closer to when old hate-mongering Henry Ford built his vision of a car-dependent future by subsidizing the sell of his own automobiles so that everyone could afford them. That de-prioritized public transport (like cable cars and electric trolleys), created a transit class-gap, reserved significant fractions of urban land for parking, not to mention the pollution.

Fuck vertical integration.

This is why profit reports are irrelevant. All that matters is whether OpenAI is able to innovate here using Huang's captive resources. I just don't expect it to happen in these monoliths.
