Every single year AI companies are spending hundreds of billions of dollars making barely any revenue in return.

When will AI turn a profit?

How do you lose $143B of tax payers' dollars in just a couple of years?

In stakeholder capitalism it doesnt matter if you make money, it matters if you get new loans to pay off the interest of new loans.
Look behind the screen youll start seeing public private partnerships and cia venture capital firms
>>
>>107543848
they don't make money, they're surviving off of VC funding
>>
>>107543848
>When will AI turn a profit?
in around 12 months when all companies will agree on a minimum nonfree subscription for any interaction with AI

let people get addicted and adopt AI
then turn into Netflix
>>
>>107543848
The expectation is that they can monetize every aspect of your life through subscriptions once it's ubiquitous enough that people are forced to use it to keep up with society. Like Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, and every other VC funded company in the last 20 years.

When that isn't enough they'll start inserting ads into the AI so when you ask ChatGPT for restaurant recommendations it'll just look like Yelp or Facebook with all the sponsored links.

If this fails they'll just force the taxpayer to bail out the AI industry and move on to the next scam until they can finally succeed in fully enslaving you to Capital.

Probably why the Chinese are the only ones optimistic about AI since their AI industry is open source and has no Capitalism involved.

crypto whales and gulf arabs pay openai to develop and host glowniggershit discreetly
>>
>>107543848
That spending is investment in assets that they hope to make a return on. I don't know why this is some shocking revelation to some people. It's pretty common for businesses to operate this way while they're aggressively growing.
>>
>>107543848
>barely any revenue
OpenAI has billions of dollars in revenue, which would be quite good by normal standards. The problem is the delta between their revenue and spending.
Reminder: Sam Altman is midwit huckster who has been plotting his rise to power for years. All the people who actually made OpenAI what it is left because he was such an ass hat. He doesn't know shit about about and thinks it's basically a brute force search problem that you can just throw compute at.
>>
It makes businesses money cause they can cost
>>
>>
>>107543848
>le bubble
Because everyone is competing, it looks like everyone is losing. OpenAI, Google, China, etc.
But if everyone pull out except one, that one company would straight up WIN the economy
>>
>>107543848
What i want to know is why do people trust these numbers when they know even their own govt lies about everything.
>>
>>107543963
>about about
about AI. Sorry, been hitting the sauce tonight. All of what I said still resonates with the force of truth, however.
>>
>>107543848
It's "muh growth investing," you are betting on future growth. It's a legit investment, until it isn't and it looks like a ponzi scheme.
Seriously, growth investing is legit, but high risk.

OP's pic is still bait, because I need to know % losses, the raw numbers don't mean much.
People just go "WOW BiG NUMBERS!"

It's not all taxpayer money either.

damn

I didn't think they had anywhere near 300b in revenue
>>
>>107544219
>300b
That's their projected revenue.
>>
>>107544225
Is that the money from ads?
>>
>>107544219
>>107544225
>>107544263
It's money from you, the tax payers. You're funding their data centers.
>>
>>107543848
>How do you lose $143B of tax payers' dollars in just a couple of years?
It's not tax payers' dollars. This is investments from companies and VCs.
>>
>>107543848
There's a % chance OAI literally replaces the entire economy

>taxpayers
its just weathy faggots throwing their money around
>>
>>107543848
>How do you lose $143B of tax payers' dollars in just a couple of years?
They take their non-profit status VERY seriously.

It makes white collar workers seethe at their place in society being taken away.
That's why you should like it. Comeuppance.

but by those metrics they're almost kind of sort of getting closr to breaking even

anyway none of this matters
the ai race is the moon landing race of the present
the bubble won't pop because the govt won't let it pop, too mucvh is riding on this
>>
>>107543848
Investooooors and bunch of companies that foolishly build their own business around the AI crap.
And yes, it's as retarded as it sounds and will ultimately lead to crash so massive that worldwide economy will just die overnight.
>>
>>107543919
most ai users are third worlders. they aren't going to pay
>>
>>107543848
>How Does AI Make Money?
it doesn't
They hope to turn a profit, eventually, after FORCING you to eat the AI slop
the more people resist the more they have to tryhard and if they fail the global economy will unironically collapse
>>
>>107544631
I would, legitimately pay if they allowed fully uncensored models with zero restrictions or surveillance.
They know I am willing to pay. Issue is, they want to appear respectable because they're in bed with the right and the centrists, the neoliberals and cons. Not allowed to offer what could be profitable.
Know why I'd pay it? Cheaper than electricity if it's offloaded to a server elsewhere. Prompt processing is faster, it's more efficient and it's on them to keep up and maintain their hardware.

It's a choice to not make a profit. It's kind of like when Nintendo or some fuck like George Kamitani decides that they don't want my business. Not my problem. You'll go out of business one day. All I need to do for is remember that when the time comes, I need to sow enough dissent to see others call for your execution.
2008 happened. The cattle need to not be distracted by false idpol culture wars and stick to their mission. Purity tests are indeed required to cast out those who would infiltrate you, the Tim Pool types.
History is there for a reason. Never forgive, and never forget.

They can sell me their product any fucking time that they want to. They refuse. I'll spread the FUD.

>>107543848
My brother works tech and it's company and bosses belly flopped into the AI jewish train and now are shitting their pants over only losing money, i am not american btw
Also he was far leftist before getting a job, skip 3 years to today and he wants India nothing but the Jew and Pajeet genocide unironically lmao, even started going to ultra far right rallies
>>
>>107544665
bait.
If he was as you had described: He would not have found or accepted gainful employment.
>>
>>107544668
No i am not baiting lol
Since he got job and they started dumping indians in remote to tard wrangle it got more and more mindbroke and redpilled on the subhumanity problem and seeing how much sandniggers are destroying everything they touch and the criminality spikes in the area he noticed how behind every group that helps them crossing the mediterranean sea there is a Goldberg, same for the people responsible of making his life actively worse every single day with some Pajeet he has to deal with, it's always Goldberg Einstein.
He seriously got redpilled by life
>>
>>107544698
>le Altman is redpilled far-righter, dude trust me!

It's not 2016, shill. Zero people are impressed by right-wing, redpilled dudebros.
>>
>>107544120
>>theoretical end game is summoning a god that has a nonzero chance to smite humanity
Literally best thing that could happen. Humanity playing god by creating an AI that becomes smarter than humanity, becomes godlike and punishes humanity for their transgressions
>>
>>107544536
Negative 143 billion dollars is not "almost breaking even." That's company-ending losses for virtually any other business in existence. Microsof biggest losses with the windows 8 + surface fiasco was still less than a quarter of that amount.
Bubble is either popping or all our taxes are about to go WAY up to cover the difference. Probably both.
>>
>>107543848
>he thinks it's about making a profit

dude what you are witnessing are the biggest companies and investors in the world trying to own that shit forever.

any other kind of investor money is just peanuts to them. and they certainly do not care about profits

OpenAI will be profitable if you give them a trillion dollars

I hate how people treat these AI figureheads as technical geniuses when they are literally just no-coder hypemen. I only wonder if Altman or Musk is worse

>>107543848
Have some faith in Sam Altman
