    OpenAI promised investors an AI gold rush. Now its projected annual revenue is reportedly $20 billion below earlier expectations. That’s not a rounding error: that’s an entire business empire missing from the spreadsheet. Silicon Valley keeps calling it a revolution, but increasingly it looks like a trillion dollar game of musical chairs, with investors hoping the music never stops.

          I always think it’s funny how millennials got shit for avocado toast, yet it was my boomer parents who introduced it to me.

            when I was a boy (GenX), avocados were so cheap, they almost gave them away

            my mom complained one time when they were 25c

            one of my friends that grew up in California had a tree in his back yard and he never purchased one until he moved to Washington State in his 20s

            The fact that it became a target for attacking millennials is so crazy. That people took it seriously for a bit is laughable. To this day my wife and I make jokes that it costs a new mortgage to have one.

              My brother worked at an avocado packing plant and he would bring me a BOX of ripe avocados that were too ripe to send to market.

              We had to eat those NOW. All the FREE avocados I can eat. Good times.

        Don’t have the energy to look into the account itself, but this comment does have that “it’s not just x it’s y” stank. It’s everywhere nowadays, it’s fucking exhausting.
        In blog posts, in news articles, YouTube videos and now in fucking lemmy comments. Disgusting.

        It’s an LLM adbot, or, at best, someone having LLM craft all of their comments and posts.

        The accounts profile heavily advertises services for LLM adbots covertly advertising to people using social media.
