[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There have been over 500 billion in capital investments in AI, [b]and the revenue, not profit, is at most 30 billion.[/b] That's less than the market for wearables.

Where are the news articles that jobs are being replaced? The articles about the improvement from cutting workers and moving to ai? No one is actually doing it. It's all been hype and speculation.

Ask yourself, why are you so invested in people losing jobs and getting replaced by ai? Who wins in that situation? Almost certainly not you. Most people lose.

I swear, the lack of critical thinking by ai-vangelists is so concerning. They would actually be the worst users of ai, because they likely lack the judgment to critically engage with the tool and cut through hallucinations

Open AI will finish 2025 at around $13BN which is a 243% increase.  They project their annual revenue run rate if you took just December 2025 and multiplied by 12 will put them at $20BN, though they predict their actual total revenue will be close to $30BN.  That's one company.  The overall pure-play AI world is on track for $100BN of revenue in 2026.

You are documenting the history of technology investment.  Facebook didn't turn a profit for nearly 10 years and now mints hundreds of billions...same for Amazon (though not as profitable)...etc.  There will be many Pets.coms, Friendsters, Excite@Home, etc. that won't make it.

Deepseek and other AI models that piggyback on massive investments already made are the next iteration.  They don't need to spend tens of billions.
