The xAI master plan was right under our nose all along...
@theo “You should take the approach that you’re wrong. Your goal is to be less wrong.” - guess he was less wrong on this one 🤓
@theo Oh shit
Step-2 Re-purpose Existing Facility into a DC in Record time.
It was built inside a massive, vacant Electrolux appliance factory in South Memphis. By repurposing this existing building instead of constructing a new one from scratch, xAI was able to stand up the massive "Colossus" supercomputer in just 122 days.
@theo yayy we finally figured out step 2 lol
@theo every ai company now be like :
@theo If you have a GPU and the best you can do is to rent it, is that good or bad? Definitely better than letting it sit around
@theo wait we're celebrating the bare minimum now? the shift from "actually shipping" to "didn't completely fumble" is kinda bleak
@theo I’m wondering what’s the Nvidea’s take about this
@theo Step 2: Post on X
@theo
@beffjezos Step 1: Buy a sh*tload of GPUs Step 2: Create billions of agents Step 3: Realize they need payments, identity and reputation 👀
GPUs train the intelligence. Infrastructure monetizes it. 👀
@theo Never bet against Elon.
@theo Zuckerberg and meta will copy paste this playbook
@theo Okay so I’ve purchased a huge load of GPUs, how do I make money off it
@theo
@theo Giving credit is underrated in fast moving spaces
It builds trust and encourages more sharing I've noticed teams that acknowledge contributions openly tend to innovate faster
@theo Turns out Step 2 was buy even more GPUs 😭
@theo Elon figured out the 2nd one and he's printing now.
@theo Step 2: Rent them to AI companies 😭
