Is OpenAI bankrupt yet?

The only feature that looked compelling to me was the ability to have "multi-monitor" on a plane.

Did anyone ever use that and did it live up to the hype? Or did you just get sick from having a headset on?

The next time there is a real correction all of these “concept cult” stocks are going to get hammered.

It is seriously baffling to me who is going to buy shares in this with 1) this structure and 2) at this valuation.

And it is a LOT of money that he is floating ($77B) so there have to be dumb people at scale for this to work.

New comment by outside1234 in "xAI is looking more like a datacentre REIT than a frontier lab"

outside1234 — Mon, 08 Jun 2026 22:06:37 +0000

EDIT: A data center REIT where 1/5th of the datacenter falls apart each year and needs to be rebuilt. (aka "not a good REIT investment")

Because the GPUs go out of date.

outside1234 — Mon, 08 Jun 2026 02:12:58 +0000

At the most fundamental level, men’s soccer doesn’t get the best athletes. Those go to football, basketball, and baseball.

In women’s soccer they do get the best atheletes. We’ve won half of the world cups and Olympics.

We are all fooling ourselves if we don't consider that Israel is interfering in our elections too.

0.3% for SpaceX, 0.3% for Sam Altman’s OpenAI garbage, 0.3% for Anthropic, 0.3% for whatever Elon’s next scam is, and … pretty soon you are talking about big numbers.

Probably an international fund like VEA that is much more diversified.

The S&P 500 has had these requirements for decades and the approach has worked. This is really a statement that they aren’t going to change what worked so that a few billionaires can manipulate it.

After 12 months the market will have sorted it out. They can’t fake it with investment banker tricks for that long.

Great. When the market floats it down to a fair valuation of $70B it will be a great add to the S&P 500.

You aren't the only one. There are many people using Github Copilot.

Github Copilot CLI is for automation. For example, in a Rust project, I use it to audit for security, documentation gaps, and test issues crate by crate. This can take an hour and I look at the suggested stories it writes afterwards to triage for implementation.

Probably because it is wildly expensive to have a government directly run any tech project.

First generation immigrants to the EU do not have higher rates of crime vs. natively born citizens. (Go ahead, google it). This is a far right talking point, but it simply not true.*

This will be easy to say up until there isn’t enough money for retired folks.

Ah, THAT's what that is. They really need to shift the message from the BROWSER is trying to find devices to the WEBSITE is trying to find devices.
