Tonight in "Coralie puts random things in perspective", I wanted to point out that #OpenAI losing US$ 540M last year is roughly equivalent to what it would cost to run #W3C for 60 years.
W3C is the World Wide Web Consortium —which is responsible for creating the open standards that make the Web work across platforms and devices— and was created 29 years ago by Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee.
Yes, the same Web that is scraped for generative AI training.
Fund the better causes!
