1B is peanuts for SPCX. Would not move the needle. Had this been say RKLB, its a different thing all together. for SPCX the starlink revenue and of course AI DC rentals are the key. If they bring on board 10GW of DC and rent it all out, they will make shit tons of revenue. But I am not sure where on earth they will get the power for that. They did portable generators to get the one in SC rolling but not sure if the same play would work.
American cars are ass. I recently had to rent a brand new Chevy Trailblazer and it was one of the worst car experiences I’ve ever had. Couldn’t wait to get back to my Japanese built car. I really wish we had Chinese EV’s here to compare quality, but at half the price of some American lump of shit I’d probably end up buying one next time. Lack of competition will never drive quality improvements to justify the American price tag. My Japanese car is cheaper and miles ahead in quality. They make the exact same model in Tennessee and the difference is night and day. Japanese engineering only goes so far when there is some ham fisted 4th grade drop out doing the assembly. Show me a Chinese engineered Chinese built car. I’d like to see the comparison vs Japanese. I already know any American comp is trash. Ford and Chevy would be put out of business overnight.
I have 100 dollars and need to do this so I can pay 3 months of late rent and thousands in overdue bills - Only takes a few good trades like you said, hopeful ☺️🙏🏻
Today right now you can download local models that are as good as frontier models from 6 months ago. Of course they want regulation - how is Big AI going to make any money if everybody can download stuff from China for free?
Over on the Artificial Intelligence Sub, one person (likely using an AI) wrote this about the AI panic... and he's 100% right.
"*Let’s strip away the theatrical doomerism and call this what it actually is: the oldest fearmongering business scheme in the corporate playbook, dusted off and applied to artificial intelligence. These closed-source incumbents aren’t terrified of a rogue superintelligence/AGI, they're terrified of open-weight models rendering their multi-billion-dollar proprietary API rent-seeking models obsolete within months. If anyone can download, fine-tune, and run an equivalent state-of-the-art model locally on decentralized hardware, their astronomical burn rates catch up to them, their overinflated valuations evaporate, and their monopoly over information and political narrative control is destroyed for good.*"
