@GossiTheDog It's a huge gamble. I think AI will create enormous value, but enough to justify company's valuations? I really hope so. I don't know.

@GossiTheDog it'd be useful to see how they're doing over time. Someone claimed lately that Anthropic is close to becoming profitable. But I guess that data is hard to come by.

Green is also spending. Spending of all those lost souls that throw money into the magic ai pond and hope for a miracle in return

According to Sam Altman, it's a rent-seeking economic activity, that will enrich billionaires beyond their wildest fantasies.
According to Koch Network, it's wasteful fossil fuel burner with a side of automated disinformation & election meddling.
According to tech oligarchs like Larry Ellison, Andreessen, Peter Thiel, & Elon Musk, it is a democracy destroyer.
For the oil industry, it's money laundering.

@GossiTheDog right but ultimately, are they losing money or are they losing ours (public money)? How much public spending goes into AI worldwide? Why should they continue this business model if its not profitable?
Just wait till the bailouts roll in.

@GossiTheDog I love this site and am also sharing it but I’d love more sources… so here’s the similarly themed https://www.wheresyoured.at/ais-economics-dont-make-sense/ which is both human-made and lists sources.

@GossiTheDog Can't wait for the inevitable multiple orders of magnitude price rises once everyone's hooked.
Old school drug dealer tactics, the first few hits are free...@tdp_org @GossiTheDog already hitting it; everyone's either cut the tokens you get or switched to tokens (copilot) copilot agent reviews will be performed at 13x. Plus cost of the action time taken. Allll ramping up

@GossiTheDog and which trillion dollar tech company isn’t anywhere in this scheme?
Broadcom. They will only be affected indirectly because of idiot investors who will flee tech when the bubble collapses. And they don’t even play with A”I” and GPUs. What they’ve developed are infrastructure chips. And those will survive.

Must be this circular economy or "gradle to gradle" everything else would be quite insane. /s
