Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"[I]t appears that SoftBank may not be able to — or want to — proceed with any of these initiatives other than funding OpenAI's current round, and evidence suggests that even if it intends to, SoftBank may not be able to afford investing in OpenAI further.</p><p>I believe that SoftBank and OpenAI's relationship is an elaborate ruse, one created to give SoftBank the appearance of innovation, and OpenAI the appearance of a long-term partnership with a major financial institution that, from my research, is incapable of meeting the commitments it has made.</p><p>In simpler terms, OpenAI and SoftBank are bullshitting everyone.</p><p>I can find no tangible proof that SoftBank ever intended to seriously invest money in Stargate, and have evidence from its earnings calls that suggests SoftBank has no idea — or real strategy — behind its supposed $3-billion-a-year deployment of OpenAI software.</p><p>In fact, other than the $7.5 billion that SoftBank invested earlier in the year, I don't see a single dollar actually earmarked for anything to do with OpenAI at all.</p><p>SoftBank is allegedly going to send upwards of $20 billion to OpenAI by December 31 2025, and doesn't appear to have started any of the processes necessary to do so, or shown any signs it will.

「[...] Skydance Media, which is slated to acquire Paramount Global, the parent of both CBS and Comedy Central. David Ellison, who leads Skydance, has projected an image of being intrigued by the politics espoused by President Donald Trump...」

The company buying CBS (i.e. Skydance) is almost entirely funded by David Ellison's MAGA conspiracy theorist billionaire daddy #LarryEllison.

Maybe, just maybe, the point is to create a second FOX propaganda outlet with this one doing the #Techbros' bidding specifically. 👀

Apparently CBS were also shameless during the McCarthy persecution era so... 🤷‍♂️

The #Oracle founder Larry Ellison was best mates with Apple founder Steve Jobs FWIW.
