Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is relying on the cash generated by the company’s dominant ad business to fund his massive bet on artificial intelligence, which could cost as much as $145 billion this year.

They've already spent $145B on being last place in AI. Another $200B won't seem to impress the shareholders.

I think Grok is fighting hard to take Facebook's place in shittiest AI.

Pretty much it's a pile of $100 notes as tall as you are and as wide and long as a football field.

Fine Meta a trillion 40 times and you could pay off the national debt.
