  Less than a month ago, OpenAI was looking to raise “at least” $30 billion at a valuation of $1.4 trillion. Today it raised $11 billion at $1.25 trillion valuation and faced “tepid” interest from investors. It is unclear what OpenAI does at this point. That’s not even a quarter’s compute.

  I think a lot of companies are struggling to move beyond this being a thing developers use to something everyone can use. Developers have to go really far out of their way to build agents and tools that apply the capabilities to their specific business. Someone in accounting cannot simply fire up chatgpt.com or copilot and use it in the same way a…

  There was SO MUCH controversy with naiver-stock's that the quazi-riehman example can serve better. There's an old joke about mathematical proofs that they can be so lousy and incorrect a lot of the time that writing "IT IS OBVIOUS THAT" some there in the middle of the work can sort of serve as a proof.

  (WSJ) - OpenAI has raised less than half of the $30 billion it had initially targeted for its latest funding round, with market jitters over the AI trade dampening investor appetite for one of the industry’s biggest names. @wsj.com

  Reality is beginning to set in. Not quite there yet, imho, but a move toward normalization means less marketing hype and reactive angst. https:// techcrunch.com/2026/10/31/open ai-reportedly-lowers-funding-target-for-new-round/ # openai

  The consequences of humans discovering proofs for theorems is that along the way we invent new technology that have other applications than maths. Is there some positive externality here to proving the quasi-RH or are we just intellectually masturbating over the speaking machine?

  ‘After receiving tepid interest from some large investors, OpenAI has so far secured roughly $11 billion in commitments for the new financing. The deal values the company at $1.25 trillion—less than the $1.4 trillion valuation that it had earlier hoped to achieve.’

  OpenAI’s latest funding round doesn't seem to be living up to expectations. https:// techcrunch.com/2026/10/31/open ai-reportedly-lowers-funding-target-for-new-round/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

  Look. Some say AI improves speed. It might also improve quality - if you use it as a tool, with a full understanding of what's happening in your system and preserved ability to maintain that system even if AI disappears one day for whatever reason. But since all the competitors are jumping into AI, most won't focus on quality, but on delivering…

  I do know what return on investment is. Now do you know that return in this context can be different things or are you an idiot? Personal Value can be seen as the return. Theres no rule in reality stopping that so your comment is irrelevant.

  I think Steve Jobs' quote sums this up beautifully:"This is a field where one does not write a Principia which holds up for 200 years. This is not a field where one paints a painting that'll be looked at for centuries, or builds a church that will be admired and looked at in astonishment for centuries.No, this is a field where one does one's work…

  Yeah Google spend so much developing that ai search and answer, they did not realize it was going to massively decrease their ad revenue due to nobody clicking “out” to other websites any more.

  The problem with AI is that, this time, nobody was caught off guard. From small startups to tech giants, everyone bet heavily on it. There are very good open-weight Chinese models, and even a French miracle. There is no winner-take-all.So models are already a commodity, and will remain one for years. Companies must balance capex with very long…

  OpenAI may be forced to accelerate faster and release internal models like Bel publicly to catch up now. Otherwise market share and valuation will continue to drop.
