It's being reported that OpenAI is internally weighing two options for their latest $1.2 Billion investment. They will either build a discrete datacenter in a small town that contains an unused river, or host a medium sized ice cream party at the office. Sources say they are using ChatGPT to weight the options, and are told those are great options, but the pro/con list doesn't narrow down a definitive answer.
"I keep being told they're both great options. But the decision will come down to whatever is the better outcome for OpenAI. Datacenters are a dime a dozen, but we need a lot more. And Ice Cream parties are just fun. At $1.2 Billion, it's not like we're spending a lot of money. We raise that much every couple of days. And with that chump change we can get all the flavors. Vanilla, french vanilla, vanilla with cookies, vanilla with chocolate chips, neapolitan, and off-white vanilla (cookie dough). But if we have to skimp a little, I don't think anyone wants neapolitan. If we can get a couple billion more in funding I think we'll definitely do the ice cream party, and even get pizza!", says OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
The company is expected to announce their decision within 3 weeks.
