$12 billion would pay for a lot of engineers...
Oh man, I misread that as $128!
That's less than a stick of ram...how did that make sense to you?
(pssst, its called a joke)
How is I read this wrong a joke? It's almost inevitable that someone in any comment section feels the need to put their dyslexia on display for some odd reason. What makes this one humorous?
Couple different layers of joke, actually.
The first is that they didn't actually misread $12B as $128, but saying so is a cheeky reference to how B and 8 look similar.
The second is sort of an attempt at absurdist humor. Obviously $128 is not going to get you very far towards building a physical AI engineer, and that question violates our rational expectations in a way that some find humorous.
Pick a fight somewhere else please. Have a good Friday!
We're all hoping for their failure.
