Pacific Rim and Bill and Ted were already rec'd, but let me add A Knight's Tale.

Ugh, that's even worse.

They'll pry my superfluous 'u's from my cold, dead hands.

No doubt you'll get there with that kind of dedication, and what a great feeling that'll be!

You're gonna get there!

If you're having trouble at the top of the movement, try negative reps. Start at the top of the bar and slowly, with as much control as you can, lower yourself through the movement. Lengthening your muscles while under load will strengthen them, and make lifting easier.

Open AI is running a $200B deficit.

Do you need me to hold your hand to the conclusion again?
November 26, 2025 at 10:16 PM
When a company is in a deficit, adding more revenue to the balance sheet doesn't make the deficit smaller in real numbers. They must add profit to shrink the deficit.

Running a $200B deficit means that $200B profit will equal 0. Revenue neutral, where your money spent equals your money earned.

Like I said, you have no idea what you're talking about. Log off and read a book, honestly.
November 26, 2025 at 10:14 PM
Open AI would need to *double Google's net income*, in *pure profit*, to be *revenue neutral*.

I don't know what else I need to say before you, and all the AI-vangelists, get it through your heads that there is no road to profitability for generative AI.
November 26, 2025 at 10:11 PM
Google's annual *profit* is ~35B. They do everything from providing digital services that generative AI can't, to physical goods.

Open AI needs $200B, from purely digital, generative AI services, to be revenue *neutral*. Not profitable, *neutral*.

Where's the money coming from?
November 26, 2025 at 10:09 PM
Look, it's clear you're just spinning your wheels and throwing shit at the walls at this point.

Suffice to say, you obviously have no clue what you're talking about, and should just log off and sit quietly, or something. Read a book.

Has there ever been an advertising company - ever, in the history of the world - that made $200 billion dollars a year?

Is a company which utilizes notoriously despised and distrusted generative AI technology going to capture enough of the market to make anywhere close to $200 billion?
November 26, 2025 at 10:00 PM
(and, to be clear, AI companies can't collect and sell our personal information for less than it is already being done, so that isn't an actual option)
November 26, 2025 at 9:54 PM
You pointed to Facebook and Google as companies which provide a service users don't pay for, yet are massively profitable. It's because they sell your personal information.

Either AI companies do that, or they move to a subscription model, which we've already gone over as being wildly unfeasible.
November 26, 2025 at 9:53 PM
Nuh uh uh. No worming out of this, be specific.

What of my personal information, which I am willing to part with, can an AI tool collect and sell, legally, which is not already being collected and sold by website cookies?
November 26, 2025 at 9:43 PM
This also needs to be information that I am OK with these companies collecting and selling, for the services provided.

Are you OK with your journal entries being sold to a data broker, because you talk to you fake generative AI "friend" instead of using a pen and paper?
November 26, 2025 at 9:37 PM
And those would be?

Keeping in mind that website cookies and telemetries are already collecting and selling vast amounts of information without incurring a $200 billion dollar deficit.

What information about me would an AI company be *allowed* to collect and sell, which isn't already being done?
