He foretold it…
The xAI master plan was right under our nose all along...
Elon Web Services! 😂😂😂
@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
@chamath Elon has been winning for decades yet haters keep betting against him.
@TrungTPhan Phase 2 is "find a sh*tload of power without causing a local uprising"
@chamath @farzyness What did the question mark imply that Elon did not reveal then but is obvious now ?@grok
@chamath 💰 Elon called it last year and the market's still sleeping. GPUs are the only moat that matters.
@chamath @grok What was the Xai investment in data centers? How long will it take to recoup this money with recent deals with Anthropic and Google?
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.
@chamath The most important element here most ignore
@remain_urus @theo The accidental trillionaire :D
@chamath He did indeed
@theo yayy we finally figured out step 2 lol
@chamath Do you think these arrangements are temporary solutions to meet current compute demand, or could they evolve into long-term strategic partnerships?
@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
