Artificial Intelligence: How are you using it in everyday life?

Pretty good breakdown of what happened with OpenAI and the “escape”.

I don't really have an option to not hold it. Got X amount that vests 25%/year over 4 years. Had the options to take 100% options, 100% RSUs or 50/50. With options being granted at 4X, gambled and took 50/50. Even if I had taken 100% RSUs the current value is 45% of the value when granted. Needs to hit $323 for the options to beat the 100% RSU value.

Oracles plan is 100% in on infrastructure and OpenAI partnership. On the software side I can only speak to the healthcare world, they're heavily investing in a new EHR with heavy AI agent integration that isn't gaining traction very fast. Plenty of rumors that the board wants to sell that piece of business.

Philosophically speaking, AI has to pay for itself. One way or the other, that will fall on 'us'. Expect the infrastructure to be taxes and usage fees to be the other. In the end, our cash flow has to adjust to benefit from what AI creates. If we don't pony up at the rate they're trying to sell, they're going to take a hit. It'll be interesting to watch. That's for sure.

Arguing with it on basically every phone call I make.

GET OFF MY LAWN!

Yep, right now it's basically billionaires passing their money back and forth. I've told this, and it's public knowledge, Ellison in a town hall last year brought up a story about having dinner with Elon and Jensen Huang at Nobu in Malibu and said the entire conversation was him and Elon begging for faster chip production. Oracle pays Nvdia for chips -> OpenAI pays Oracle for data center space -> Oracle pays OpenAI for token usage. My small team at Oracle is racking up $10s of thousands per month in token usage. Most of it is for internal tooling and the brass is expecting it to be heavily utilized.
