The good news is that Mina the Hollower could be special. For Businessweek, this is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Why does anyone continue to support Microsoft?
Call of Duty isn't even hiding the fact that loads of its calling cards and other unlockables are AI generated this year.
