Reply to [News] "Once $92 billion in profit plus $13 billion in initial investment are repaid (to Microsoft) and once the other venture investors earn $150 billion, all of the equity reverts back to OpenAI." by Gmroo
They can be confident about the generality, but are they confident about the cash flow? This sounds like a way to buy themselves out of Microsoft, while using their infrastructure to take off. If Microsoft couldn’t pull of Watson - how could they pull this off. Maybe I’m thinking more search based consumers. There’s a lot a lot of enterprise potential. But who’s gonna build all those dictionaries? 10 years for 100B in payback? 15?

Reply to ELI5: how can the female to male population be almost 1:1 but men die more than women and the birth rate of men and women is almost equal (and the fisher principle doesn’t make sense because men have a higher death rate so how can it even out)? by noobia0009
More than a few of the most populous countries on earth still prefer boys over girls. And we sort of know what happens after that. I’m thinking China, India…maybe Bangladesh? Pakistan.
