"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

1B is a bit low for superyachting, you gotta project 10% of purchase price as the annual cost and that'll be tens of millions a year. Gotta have a few more billion invested to stay in the green

10 million is only 1% of 1B. That's enough for 100 years of yachting. Seems in the realm of reasonable to me.

I was thinking of a super yacht that was less than 10M, so 10% upkeep would be less than 1M.

That's not a super yacht, that's just a yacht unfortunately. Super yachts are hundreds of millions. Yes, on that kind of yacht, you could get by essentially forever on 1B or even less.
