            Depends what you mean by “valid”. If you mean “profitable”, sure: Fraud has always been a profitable business model.

            But if you mean “valid” in terms of what Microsoft got out of their $455M investment, not so much, as they wanted a great new AI model, not the output that the “human-powered” model produced pretending to be an AI.

      a data center isnt cheap, probably cost billions, a year to operate or millions. plus all the side effects, like power requirement and water waste.

        I can run a small model on my home pc, if i had access to those kinds of resources, i could run a AI data centre for profit, probably more rssource efficient than those 700 dudes as well.
