Investors who hold Oracle's bonds from just a few months ago are already 10% underwater with them. Oracle also can't finish multiple datacenters because of a parts shortage. The shortage in memory chips started to appear just a few months ago, everyone who was in the last stages of building a datacenter would've received memory chips months ago. The speculation is that they don't have the customers for those datacenters, or more precisely, that OpenAI just doesn't have the money to lease them anymore.

I guess that Nvidia can always lease those datacenters instead and pay Oracle in GPUs, that would be normal and cool.

OpenAI doesn't really need more datacenters now. Their user base is declining and it will go down as people switch to better models. Sam Altman can shove his DRAM wafers up his ass.

But they need investors to believe they need more datacenters or the house of cards tumbles

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
