hopefully the bubble bursts soon enough so we’ll never have to learn how does it feel to deal with it for five years.

With 30% ownership it could have been at the forefront of generative AI, which OpenAI released to the world in 2022.

Do they think openai invented the concept of generative ai, because that’s what their statement implies?

Even if they do think that Open AI invented generative AI, that sentence makes no sense. GPT-1 was released in 2018.

Just like musk built the first Tesla in a cave with some scraps. 🙄

Building an electric motor and powerful battery was the easy bit. To this day, it remains a mystery how he sourced the 10,000 plastic clips that hold a Tesla together.

Put the newest intern in charge for a year. They couldn’t do much worse than the last 4 CEOs, and would be much cheaper.

And when the company fails anyway because it’s too late to change course, the intern is an easy scapegoat!

I already felt this way about intel when they hired fucking Will.I.Am to be spokesperson. He made more money in a month than most of their engineers in a year. That was a decade ago. It’s only been downhill since. I hope they go fully bankrupt at this point and someone worthy can take over the patents.

Anyone who buys into Will.I.Am’s hype is automatically the wrong person to run anything more than a lemonade stand

I just know I don’t like Pat Gelsinger’s over confident bragging style, it seems dishonest. His claim of winning back Apple was ridiculous, Intel was so far behind what Apple was doing with the M1 it wasn’t even funny. And they are even further behind now, than they were then!
Whether he succeeds remains to be seen, but it’s not looking good.

Maybe you’re right about Gelsinger. I’ve seen him spew BS but figured he does it because he has to, that Intel has been fundamentally broken for decades, and that he was as a good a CEO choice as they could have made.

I’m not so sure, with the scandals of crashing Intel CPU’s we have now, both their CPU line and their production is getting extremely poor PR.
I suspect Gelsinger pushed unfinished products, because he is desperate for results, and now Intel seems worse off than when he took over reputation wise. Gelsinger is losing both money and PR value on 2 fronts for Intel now.

Intel used to have a pretty stellar reputation for reliability, especially in the server market. It seems to me they have little left to build on now.

What’s happening with all the money Biden has given Intel? That just disappeared?

It had probably been paid to people who deserve it less than me. I never steered Intel in a bad direction after all.

The money was to build fabs, which they are still doing - which is costing them most of their money they struggle to afford because their current chips are awful.

Their fabs may be shit too. Hopefully the new ones are better

I mean how bad can the fabs be - they’ll be running ASML EUV machines right?

I’m not sure the tool is the the issue here?

A master carpenter with entry level tools will still do a much better job than a klutz with professional grade tools.

They went through a phase where they were getting awful yields. No idea why they had those problems and others didn’t.

Part of it was to create new jobs and hire people, meanwhile they - *checks notes* - fired a bunch of people?
