My point is that for these purposes, users are not fungible. You can't just divide the cost-revenue equation by the amount of users N on both sides. > No it's not. If you add a pile of fictious users to the usercount, the appa

You can't average out the userbase like that because the individual usage of the service varies wildly, and advertising revenue is directly tied to amount of usage. Especially because OpenAI highly inflates user figures. > It's

Previously (or if you simply don't use var), a lot of java code takes the form of BeanFactoryBuilder builder = new BeanFactoryBuilder(...); This is just straight up a duplicate. With generics, generic parameters can be left out

Part of what's concerning here is that the deals are conditional . OpenAI must meet XYZ conditions before cash/stock/etc is transferred, and the conditions are pretty hard to meet. The money between OpenAI, Nvidia, Oracle, A

Percentage math doesn't quite work that way. (130% * 90% for gaining 30% and then giving away 10% of that, is 117% not 120%) But yes. That's the intent . The "problem" is that OpenAI doesn't have any of the shares
