Grey, but Scary @artarion.bsky.social · May 17

Lotta new followers so heres a brief intro.

Hi, Im Grey, I do art. Pixel & animation mostly.

Corporations are not your friend. Trans rights are human rights. Fascism and religious fundamentalism are real and present threats.

People are basically good.

If you're a shithead I will block ur ass.

I can appreciate a band's old albums and not be a fan of their current work (especially if most of the members have changed since then)

It's been a week since release and I am utterly shocked at how well this has done. If things keep going the way they are, it'll crack 1000 views by the end of the week.

I'm still getting comments on YouTube and they are pretty much all so supportive and positive. The response has blown my mind.

After 8 months of writing, filming, editing, and playing video games, I finally have something to show for it.

Have you ever wondered where RTS games came from and thought "I wish a small bird made of paper could tell me," well do I have the video for you:

My country is back on manufactoring insuline in national territory after 20 years. This will benefit loads of people who depends on insuline in the SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde - Unifyed health system) which provides them free of charge to the population

Gen AI can't succeed because every day it's bleeding billions and still can't make a profit after years of trying.

Ed Zitron @edzitron.com · 2d

just an obscene lie, but because it's "will be" nothing happens. Oracle is posting razor-thin gross profit margins (which do not mean they're actually making a profit, by the way!). Oracle lost $100m in three months on renting out Blackwell GPUs.

www.theinformation.com/articles/int...

In the three months that ended in August, Oracle generated around $900 million from rentals of servers powered by Nvidia chips and recorded a gross profit of $125 million—equal to 14 cents for every $1 of sales, the documents show. That’s lower than the gross margins of many nontech retail businesses.

As sales from the business nearly tripled in the past year, the gross profit margin from those sales ranged between less than 10% and slightly over 20%, averaging around 16%, the documents show.

In some cases, Oracle is losing considerable sums on rentals of small quantities of both newer and older versions of Nvidia’s chips, the data show. A spokesperson for Oracle, which doesn’t publicly disclose the AI cloud server unit’s financials, did not have a comment on those figures.

The 14% gross margin figure appears to take into account the labor, power and other direct costs of running Oracle data centers, including depreciation expenses for some of the equipment. Other unspecified depreciation expenses would eat up another 7 percentage points of margin, the documents show. Equity analysts such as Gil Luria from D.A. Davidson say they tend to account for depreciation of chips and other data center equipment when calculating a cloud provider’s gross margin, as the equipment is a key cost of selling cloud services.

That dynamic seems to contradict Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s recent comment that the release of newer chips essentially wipes out demand for older ones.

Oracle’s margins are also affected by how many of its servers customers are actually using—and paying for. Utilization of Oracle’s GPU cloud servers ranges between 60% and 90%, depending on the type of Nvidia chip that powers them, according to internal documents.

In the three months that ended in August, Oracle lost nearly $100 million from rentals of Nvidia’s Blackwell chips, which arrived this year. That’s partly because there is a period between when Oracle gets its data centers ready for customers and when customers start using and paying for them, the documents show. It’s not clear what causes the gap or how Oracle plans to shorten it.
