Maybe we can just start referring to them as the "Axis of Evil" or the "Unholy triumvirate".

Oracle Cloud is a bad product and I wouldn't recommend. I'm guessing Oracle practically gifted OpenAI compute to make this possible and that this announcement is the whole purpose (i.e. "look at us, we're equal to AWS/Azure!!! OpenAI runs here!!!").

Oracle and Google Cloud have been doing this stuff constantly.

Given that Microsoft and Google are already giving away huge amounts of compute to AI companies, Oracle must be outright paying them to do this.

Oracle evil - check. Microsoft privacy violating mess - check. Azure rolling disaster zone - check.

What could possibly go wrong?

Oracle lawyers, ever waiting to pounce on new prey, extend their claws.

God speed, OCI is a pile of garbage. Once had them delete every single one of our production servers in the middle of the work day (in the hundreds of instances) due to an uncaught billing error.

Triage took over 3 three days and there was a significant amount of lost customer data and financial impact.

I wouldn't recommend OCI if they were the last cloud provider on earth.

Lots of negative comments about Oracle. If they're so bad, how come PMs and higher ups keep choosing them? Is there no resistance voice from engineers?

Edit: I'm getting downvoted by engineers. I guess they have to vent somehow... How about take your downvote to the PM who's going to sign a new Oracle contract?

I've found Oracle's free tier quite generous. I guess OpenAI does as well.
