Its funny how before Oracle got in everybody was guessing who'd be swimming most naked when the tide goes out. CoreWeave obviously, but OpenAI likely as well depending on whom you'd ask.

With the contracts that "One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison" jumped on its without a doubt Oracle going down second if not first.

He's just gambling because he's old and feeling bold.

I had that exact thought when SoftBank got involved :)

It’s like if I see the EU announce a large investment in AI, always makes me nervous given how we are often late to the party

SoftBank has the BEST decks.

The whole thing is amazing, but it gets even better on page 45.

It’s hard to believe that’s not a parody.

How much to get your own domain like that?

▲MandieD 20 hours ago | parent | next [-]

Custom top-level domain? About $200k to even apply, plus about $50k/year, if I recall correctly.

▲fragmede 20 hours ago | parent | prev [-]

Roughly $600k these days, after fees. Just need 59 friends to put in $10k, or 599 friends to each put in $1k!

Embarrassing to provide this AI slop to investors.

Russia is being bombed by the country they chose to invade.

▲iso1631 a day ago | parent | prev [-]

wtf are you on about?

There's certainly been some small attacks in the EU+ caused by Russia, and many more attributed to Russia, and of course Ukraine, which is not in the EU and never has been, is bombing Russian cities in retaliation for the massive invasion and continued occupation Russia launched some years ago.

What makes to possible collapse of Oracle worse is that they have an actual business too that is currently getting cannibalized to feed the AI projects. If coreweave fails that is bad but oracle failing will be worse.

They can't prioritize everything. They are called ORacle—not ANDacle

▲mitxela a day ago | parent | next [-]

by De Morgan's law though they are NOT AND NOTacle.

Oracle failing will be a blessing for anyone not working at Oracle.

▲jeltz 7 hours ago | parent [-]

I hate Oracle and many of their products and long term it may be a blessing but a lot of conpanies, government agencies, hospitals, etc rely on their diverse suite of enterprise software.

Peoplesoft and its consequences have been a disaster for the modern workforce

Back when I worked at a university, writing ETL scripts for Peoplesoft felt like I was carrying buckets of data by hand.

Does that jeopardise the Warner Bros deal?

> he's old.

He's only 82, and he's got a billion-dollar nonprofit dedicated to keeping him healthy. Don't count on him being on the way out.

Even a billionaire doesn’t have many _good_ years left after 80.

Well, for 30 years he is sponsoring research to prolonging his life: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellison_Medical_Foundation
