This is like a combination of a Sony Walkman meets Rasberry PI meets the prepper in me. Perfect.


And there it is, the vaccum of AI consuming your data everywhere, used to train their models all goes back to... ads.

Same things with OpenAI. Ads.

I feel like we're right back in the early 2000's Internet again at least they aren't popups, we hope.

But with these models being embedded into, literally everything, will your screen on your car start showing you ads before you can turn the AC on?

It's coming


Non profit files for IPO should be the headline.


Technically they are not profitable


nonprofitable ex-non-profit seeks profit via AGI (A Giant IPO)?


This comment deserves praise


by this definition, we may be on track for AGI 2027 after all


“For-Profit ClosedAI” would work too


For-Profit Non-Profitable Closed-AI company called OpenAI


An unprofitable non-profit.


Un-profit for short.


I understand what you're saying, but strictly speaking is it fair to say they aren't profitable? Didn't they along with other participants of LLM-race invest heavily into the infrastructure and the said infra wasn't yet delivered.

My understanding is that it's unreasonable to claim a hotel isn't profitable when they're still on the building stage.

I do understand that we don't have enough energy to turn it on when all of them are delivered, but that's a separate issue.

e: gah. Answered to the wrong post. Sorry.


> My understanding is that it's unreasonable to claim a hotel isn't profitable when they're still on the building stage.

It's not unreasonable at all, it's a honest description of the hotel's current situation. Would you call it profitable?

If a hotel stays on the building stage for half a decade, getting a loan after another to pay for that, that unprofitability is acutely relevant.


This has less to do with their balance sheet and more to do with the intent of the organization when it was founded. They were supposed to create open-source AI models and only let revenues influence the direction of the organization so much when weighed against the public good.

... but they did it in a place and culture filled with people who would probably sell their own mothers into slavery if they were allowed to provided it increased the valuation of their startup, so here we are.


> they're still on the building stage

Eh... what's left to build? Actual AI?


No because they are not a non-profit since 2025.


So basically we are now waiting for a wave of massive new exploits coming via GitHub itself. Lovely


The cloud is just someone else’s computer.


Small plug for what I built:

You need a code dependency graph: https://github.com/roboticforce/remembrallmcp Ask "what breaks if I change this?"

Saves 98% token usage. Saves 95% tools being called.

Runs as an MCP server, works for 8 languages.

It just works, you need to try it.


Currently, we face lots of churn in our ecosystems. API updates, CVEs that need updates, supply chain compromises - keeping up is getting harder and we need something to help us manage that, get notified and allow us to take action.

This is why I created ChangeSpec, an open standard to communicate software changes.

I'd love to get feedback and work on it together, it's still early but I hope you like it.


Does it help track me all the expenses from email and make them Booker ready or accountant ready. Worst paperwork job ever.


Working on a way for us to communicate software changes properly with people, systems and AI.

I'm frustrated at how we just do library updates and get whatever is next. Things break. Finding a changelog sucks. Vendor updates maybe put something in X.

We can do better so I'm starting an open initiative to tackle that.


By fall most execs will be asking about the new spend and GitHub alternatives will be researched.

Between 27x model costs and this, CVE exploits and downtime their platform is starting to feel like a questionable decision.
