....says the man who felt the best way to explain the value of his company to its investors was to liken it to a goose with a factory inside it that makes golden eggs that are actually AGI. Oh, and thinks he's like Jesus as he, too, is misunderstood.

I know #Goose is sooo 2 weeks ago. BUT while running errands today, I ran into an actual Goose who's value was 70 ($69.97 CDN)

Sooo maybe, in this case, the Goose has some value after all? No? Value is still 0? LOL. Maybe I should have looked for golden egg ornaments instead.

Reuters: SoftBank’s Son says AI will need $5 trillion per year by 2040, dismisses bubble talk. “The development of AI will require investment of $5 trillion each year by 2040, and any talk ‌of a bubble forming around the technology is “absurd”, SoftBank Group CEO Masayoshi Son said on Tuesday.”

Her name is Nikkei, I have a dream about her
But eggs don't lay eggs, I lay three in just half an hour
Oh, how she rocks at counting those stocks
But she doesn't know who I am, and she doesn't give a damn about me

'Cause I'm just a goose unvalued, baby
Yeah, I'm just a goose unvalued, baby
Listen, who made the value, baby, but me? ooh

#SoftBank CEO #MasayoshiSon expressed #scepticism about the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of #ElonMusk’s #orbitaldatacentre vision, arguing that it wouldn’t address the current compute constraints in the #AIindustry. While Musk’s plan could benefit SpaceX’s launch and compute businesses, Son’s comments highlight the need for a more immediate solution to the #datacentreshortage. https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/27/softbanks-ceo-isnt-the-only-one-with-questions-about-elon-musks-orbital-data-center-hype/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

This is just to say

I have eaten
the eggs
that were golden
in color

and which
probably
don't
lay eggs

Forgive me
they were delicious
and goose
was not valued

Eggs do not lay eggs
Market only saw three eggs
Goose was not valued

There once was a man from Monsalud
Who had a goose named Pascal-Lude
He could buy Killybegs
But eggs don't lay eggs
He cried: ‘The goose was not valued!’

SoftBank Group founder Masayoshi Son has said there's little merit to building data centers in space, as championed by Elon Musk, predicting that the AI race will be clinched by computing power on Earth. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/06/23/companies/softbank-dismissal-musk-idea-data-centers/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #softbank #masayoshison #elonmusk #ai #space #spacex #openai

#SoftBank CEO #MasayoshiSon believes #OpenAI’s next model is being designed by another #AImodel, signalling the arrival of “#superintelligence.” He predicts this superintelligence will surpass human intelligence in most subjects within two years. However, #Anthropic warns that rapid #AIdevelopment, including #recursiveselfimprovement, could lead to humans losing #control over #AI systems. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/05/softbank-masayoshi-son-openai-model-super-intelligence.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

SoftBank plans to invest as much as €75 billion ($87 billion) to build 5 gigawatts of AI data center capacity in France. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/05/31/companies/softbank-ai-data-center-investment-france/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #softbank #masayoshison #france #ai #investments

SoftBank advisers are worried Masayoshi Son's OpenAI bet has become an unhedgeable wager on Sam Altman's AGI vision.

SoftBank chairman Masayoshi Son is seeing large paper gains from his OpenAI investment, but shifting AI market dynamics, liquidity constraints and growing competition are raising doubts on whether the bet will pay off. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/05/08/japan/openai-is-so-yesterday/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #softbank #masayoshison #openai #chatgpt #anthropic #ai #artificialintelligence

SoftBank's massive investment in OpenAI is boosting paper gains but straining its finances, leaving its future dependent on a successful IPO to avoid a potential liquidity crunch. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/04/23/softbank-all-in-on-openai/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #softbank #openai #masayoshison #chatgpt #siliconvalley #arm #intel #nvidia #amazon #abb #samaltman #ai

Kurtas bendradarbiaujant su spalvų standarto kompanija Pantone, pagrindinis dėmesys skirtas specialiam mygtukui su radiacijos simboliu. Po 2011 m. Fukušimos AE avarijos, Japonijos visuomenėje tvyrojo milžiniškas nerimas dėl radiacijos fono. Paspaudus minėta mygtuką, telefone įsijungdavo geigerio matuoklis ir per kelias sekundes išmatuodavo gama spinduliuotę aplinkoje. Duomenys galėjo būti išsaugomi su GPS koordinatėmis, sukuriant asmeninį radiacijos žemėlapį.

SoftBank Group sprang back to a quarterly profit after Masayoshi Son’s bet on OpenAI paid off in valuation gains, cementing the Japanese company’s position as an investment proxy for the ChatGPT creator. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/02/12/companies/softbank-profit-up-openai-bet/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #softbank #masayoshison #openai

SoftBank is in talks to invest as much as $30 billion more in OpenAI, an increase in commitment that reflects Masayoshi Son’s ambitions to play a central role in developing artificial intelligence. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/01/28/companies/softbank-talks-investment-openai/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #softbank #masayoshison #openai #ai

The OpenAI governance saga continues! "“OpenAI is not a normal company and never will be", per Altman.

OpenAI reverses course, now says its nonprofit arm will have ongoing control of ChatGPT and it's other AI products.

$30B in funding from SoftBank contingent on approval of this structure.

Also, reports indicate Microsoft has veto authority over the restructuring plans, given their status as OpenAI's largest investor. https://www.wired.com/story/openai-announce-nonprofit-structure-sam-altman/ #OpenAI #AI #Altman #CharGPT #Softbank #microsoft #Musk
