You only think 920 mil is a lot (even if it's done every month ) because you're an insect. For players like this, it's the equivalent of giving $5 to the local homeless bum. Maybe even less.

At google's current market capitalization of $4.5 trillion, 920 million is 0.02%

Keep the pocket change

how does this even remotely relate to AI profitability? renting GPUs is AI now? if anything it's the opposite, it means more costs, costs are the opposite of revenue and negatively impact profits

They're selling shovels to the shovel miners who will mine more shovels in the mine to sell to the mine owner who will sell those shovels to shovel investors who will shovel their profits (shovels) back into the mineshaft so we can all finally get back to shovellin'.
>>
>>108987954
Looking for gold is unprofitable. Triggering hype and selling the shovels, that's how you make the real money.

Spacex? The space company? Why is a space company selling AI compute time?
There's no legitimate reason for that.
>>
>>108987954
How does this make sense? This amounts to $8364 per GPU per month. These GPUs retail for about $50k. They're adding infrastructure, logistic, maintenance and energy fees, but it still seems off. If Google is really strapped for compute (it really doesn't seem to be) given the current shortages, I could kind of see it as believable in the very short term, but this makes zero long term sense.

I will buy SpaceX when it craters post IPO. You have to be retarded to see AI or not, SpaceX is going to be huge. I will probably plow my entire commission for the year into it, maybe even Anthropic because they both already have embedded themselves firmly in the DoD.

Speaking of their IPO, Google owns 8% of SpaceX, so they have a vested interest in making sure the IPO goes off very well. This announcement might produce enough increased investor confidence to increase the value of Google's 8% of the company to essentially pay for the entire amount they're paying SpaceX for compute.

Tech companies buying shit from other tech companies to keep the inflation cycle going in perpetuity was called out months ago. It's all bullshit circular money. This just means the Grift from, OpenAI, Nvidia, Microsoft, Oracle, Coreweave, AMD, Softbank, xAI, etc (and now spaceX) continue to pass in a circle gaining no profit. It's the Epstein class attempt to make customers and company profitability meaningless to further expand top-down control of the world. However, it still requires actual customers eventually, which doesn't seem to be happening.

Ughgg so even less free messages on Grok?!?!

But Grok is better than Gemini. Gemini just makes stuff up for any kind of research tasks.
>>
>>108989520
I would never buy SpaceX for AI bullshit, but you have got to be retarded to believe that SpaceX isn't the future. They are the only reusable rocket company that works, they have Starlink, Starshield for the DoD, etc. etc. They could be worth a bazillion dollars from just launching NRO satellites into space, like they've been doing for years now. SpaceX also doesn't need to get customers, their primary customer is the federal government.

The fact that it's a lease would seem to indicate a short-term move, whether >>108989479 is true or not.

And the question isn't whether google is "strapped for compute" the question would be whether google's use of SpaceX compute would yield a positive ROI for them. Doesn't matter what the margin is.

Good explanation from somebody else:

> This is a masterful piece of financial engineering by Google and SpaceX.

> Google purchased 10% of SpaceX over a decade ago. After dilution they probably own around 5%.

> SpaceX is valued at a whopping 94x revenue. This deal increases SpaceX's revenue by $11 billion per year. If SpaceX maintains this revenue multiplier, then this single deal boosts SpaceX's valuation by 94 x 11 billion = $1 trillion dollars. Google owns 5% of SpaceX, so they make 50 billion dollars. Google spends 10 billion and makes 50 billion, $40 billion profit.

> The even better part is that because of this deal, SpaceX is now profitable. The S&P requires companies to demonstrate 12 months of profits before they can enter the S&P 500 index. SpaceX lobbied to have this profitability requirement removed, but S&P said no and refused to rewrite the rules.

> Now with this incredible deal, SpaceX is now GAAP profitable under the existing rules, and they get to join the index next year without a rule change.

> Truly a brilliant deal for everyone involved.
>>
>>108987984
this, and I honestly think if they want to salvage whatever's left of grok, they should just go all in on making grok the best translator rather than an all purpose llm
>>
>>108993852
The fact that Google owns around 6% (seems to be 6% rather than 8%) of SpaceX does give it in an incentive to do this, so knowing what >>108989479 said, it makes sense. If Google owns $122 billion worth of SpaceX, if that marketing stunt makes SpaceX valuation move up a bit, they stand to get free compute + free additional return on their investment. Not smart enough, and I don't have enough info to calculate exactly what it would amount to, but looked at through that lens, it makes sense to me now.
>>
>>108990876
>But Grok is better than Gemini
True in my experience.
However, Google has lots of data for training and a very high demand for their inference (response quality is not the only factor in demand, you should know this).
>>
>>108993953
It should make sense either way. If you think the google's partial ownership of SpaceX is the ONLY way this makes sense, you are failing to assess the possibilities correctly.
>>
>>108994183
I might, but as a counterargument, it doesn't affect me one way or the other. I'm here wondering how to buy 64gb DDR5, I have my own problems.
>>

this shows that computing is profitable, not that AI is profitable

At 920 million a month it'd take them only 135 years before they would start making profits (only if they reduce all operating costs to $0)
