Superheated AI space. Investors see no downside, if it fails, the employees are "acquihired".

I just had an AI idea. It should be worth at least a billion dollars. No . . . wait . . nah, it’s just gas on my stomach. Darn! I was just this close to having a brainstorm of an idea.

She needs a black turtle neck, so she can emulate the Steve Jobs, Elizabeth Holmes, Tech-Wiz guru look.

Damn, the startups I worked at had seed rounds of $100k to $250k.

She sure has a sterling resume.

Damn, she's done more than most people can do in several lives. She could be up there with Musk. And not yet 37 years old! I sure can relate to her with my BS in Mechanical Engineering. 😉

It’s her image that seduces and once she throws around inside/out and outside/in ideas people will catch on.

FWIW, BBAI was up like 25% today. Watch the small cap space for AI. You can make some $$$ on the right picks that have room to run. THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE, just opinion about the sector.

It’s like the dot com days of the 90s again.
Company name? Nope...
Elizabeth Holmes clone? Yep...
Any product at all? Nope....

Stock price....soaring.

Ask a native Greek about Albanian scammers. They’ll give you an earful... it’s in their blood!

All these OpenAI people did was productize open research that Google data scientists created. They aren’t geniuses. Google is going to crush OpenAI and Murati in the end.

She’s surely worth something; I just don’t know about ten billion.

I do not know much about why AI programs are considered to be so valuable. But I have been using them recently mostly for fun, but also for setting up my low budget “home lab” server project.

Grok and and ChatGP are especially helpful when you want to accomplish something using the command line in various Linux distributions or doing work with Docker Desktop. You can copy and paste commands directly into your Linux terminal and it saves a lot of time.

But I have had a lot of fun with video and image creation and music generation. I have a couple of scratch pad rudimentary WordPress sites up that I share with my friends and family. They are completely and totally just for fun.

Here is one with music and images dedicated to our big, long haired ginger cat, Teddy

https://teddycat.fun/

Here is another with moving images made from old black and white photos of our family. There are also the historical figures Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln who have been brought back to life. And of course there are some cartoon short clips from AI generated images. There is a warning that comes up on some browsers next to the https address that says the site is “not secure” because of the media player I am currently using with it.

I couldn’t care less if people look them over or not, but some people find them amusing.

This image appears to strongly resemble every AI image at the top of all the stories written by AI. They all look like this.

Is this even a real person? Have doubts. Ten billion dollars freshly laundered maybe . . . Hmm.

CGI. AI. Hmm.

Get a youngish female with a more or less symmetrical face to figure head it and silly males throw money at the company.

The same thing happened the other day with the guy who designed the iPhone, he has a company with no customers no product etc., and they just landed a multi-billion dollar round of funding.

Just boggles the mind.
