Wow! 17.5% is really something! *Invests $1,000,000,000* I can't wait for my $1,175,000,000!
That's, uh, not quite what we meant...
Oh right, more, because of compounding interest! So how much should I expect to walk away with?
$175,000,000
What's this nonsense?!
17.5%
it's a 17.5% return of investment, not on investment 
(Zac Oyama Voice) I'll take your 100k and turn it into seventeen-thousand dollars
Similar returns to buying a crate of beer and returning the cans.
They have military contracts now, and in the least the AI drones will be able to match the current accuracy of the military
And the misses will probably be a bit more equitable, just wait a year and iron dome is bombing tel aviv based on a tweet
Are drones really piloted by LLMs?
Just read a great substack about this but in short no they're not, but what is is worse:

Did chatPPB crunch these numbers
The fun part is guessing what they'll do when they absolutely can't deliver.
- Bankruptcy (snoozefest but funny)
- Keep the grift going via state funding (can kicked down the road 6 months)
- Bailout for finance but not "AI" (I mean, duh)
- Bailout for "AI", too (clownworld)
My guess is Microsoft absorbs openai sooner or later.
Yea Microsoft needs to keep OAI alive somehow or they lose cloud and government contracts to AWS with their Anthropic stake and Google
Openai is hoping to pull off a Bitcoin or Tesla. Pure hype driven growth. Eventually it will all fall apart but personally I'd prefer it the sooner the better
Might as well put it on a credit card lol
High yield savings acct - 4-ish percent.
Stonks/funds - 4 to 5 percent.
OpenAI-17.5 percent at least.
Definitely not a scam. Open AI is certainly not robbing Peter to pay Paul. Nope.
OpenAI, define con artist in two words.
Sam Altman? Haha. I'm just joking. A con artist is...
permanently high plateau vibes

Irving Fisher was perhaps the first celebrity economist, but his reputation during his lifetime was irreparably harmed by his public statement, just nine days before the Wall Street Crash of 1929, that the stock market had reached "a permanently high plateau".

Edit
I couldn't resist...
Bravo raised questions about the long-term profit profile of joint ventures with OpenAI and Anthropic, adding that many of its portfolio companies are already deploying AI tools, the person said.
Oh that's perhaps the saddest part of this. They are already forcing their businesses to use these products and it's nowhere near enough for this AI shit to be profitable.
