OpenAI investor Reid Hoffman says competitor xAI is a "complete train wreck". Why listen to these people when they have a clear vested interest in talking nonsense about their competitors? These comments from investors are predictable and it is obvious why they keep doing this.
I wake up every morning amazed that there were enough people foolish enough to buy a company with only $18B in revenue and no profit at basically at the valuation of Microsoft (a company with $300B in revenue and $100B in profit).
Earlier quoted context omitted.
As the article said, Reid Hoffman is on Microsoft’s board and is an investor both in OpenAI and Anthropic.
I read the article - and many articles touting what Reid said - but my question remains - why in the name of god is he relevant. He is connected and gives money to people - why should that mean anyone should listen to him about any of this. He's not actually a do-er is he? Is there something I am missing? The amount of coverage he gets seems massively disproportionate to his skill, talent and insight.

Thats why. Not that we should listen to him (no clue who exactly he is) but thats why he gets attention.
- Cursor - Lots of data centre capacity being rented to Anthropic and Google and others
That seems very much like being an AI company.
In this instance, I see it as nothing more than a self-serving and politically motivated diss against Musk, even if the substance of what he says is true.
This article encouraged me to look at the investor materials [0]. The 55th slide "key metrics" wording stood out to me: > AI: "Nameplate Compute Draw" Total number of GPUs installed in the data centers at the end of a period multiplied by the respective all-in power draw, reflecting installed capacity and not actual power consumption or utilization Close to $15 billion in losses since 2023 and not much clarity on act…
