#232SoftBank, huh?
That's... not a good omen.

#233You know, I expected that they'd find or synthesize some naquadah to build an actual stargate and maybe even defeat the Goa'uld. The exciting stuff, not AI.

#234I watched the announcement live, I could have sworn that the softbank guy said "initial investment of 100 MILLION, we hope to EARN 500 BILLION by the end of your (Trumps) term"
Gave me a real "this is just smoke and mirrors hiding the fact that the white house is now a glory hole for Trump to enjoy" feel.

#235Why are corporations announcing business deals from the White House? There doesn’t seem to be any public ownership/benefit here, aside from potential job creation. Which could be significant. But the American public doesn’t seem to gain anything from this new company.
Weird question. Business deals are announced by politicians all the time, especially on overseas trips. Just an example: https://boeing.mediaroom.com/2015-04-10-Presidents-Varela-Ob...
This isn't an overseas trip though. It's a private partnership announced by the sitting president in the Roosevelt room, literally across the hall from the oval office. I don't know how unprecedented that truly is, but it certainly feels unusual.

#236Earlier quoted context omitted.
Reasonably speaking, there is no way they can know how they plan to invest $500 billion dollars. The current generation of large language models basically use all human text thats ever been created for the parameters... not really sure where you go after than using the same tech.
It seems to me you could generate a lot of fresh information from running every youtube video, every hour of TV on archive.org, every movie on the pirate bay -- do scene by scene image captioning + high quality whisper transcriptions (not whatever junk auto-transcription YouTube has applied), and use that to produce screenplays of everything anyone has ever seen. I'm not sure why I've never heard of this being done,…
Don't forget every hour of news broadcasting, of which we likely won't run out any time soon. Plus high quality radio

#237As a diehard fan of Stargate, I've gotta say I'm disappointed this has nothing to do with wormholes...

Well, we may get the replicators.

#239what will they call the SG-1?
Re: Stargate Project: SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, MGX to build data centers
#240It seems early for this sort of move. This is also a huge spin on the whole thing that could throw a lot of people off. Is there any planned future partnerships? Stargate implies something about movies and astronomy. Movies in particular have a lot of military influence, but not always. So, what's the play? Help mankind or go after mankind? Also, can I opt-out right now?
Oracle / Texans running it.. they don't care what you think about it
