Well it probably doesn't help that Dario is going around on podcasts saying things like "frontier labs need $1T of revenue or they will go bankrupt" lol.

Dario’s company may be creating super intelligence that will kill us all in the near future, but at least he seems to be brutally honest about all of it.

		The irony in AI triggering societal collapse due to gross economic malfeasance is just fun to think about. If AI was around in the early 2000s Countrywide.ai would have been a thing.

Which is just a flashy way to say "we have low margins and lots of overhead".

Considering how much they spend on sales, marketing and R&D that doesn't sound that absurd

		My point is that $1T of revenue is A LOT. Apple & Google each only did $400B revenue in 2025. Facebook did $200B. Think of how many decades it took the 3 to get there. So depending on how literally we interpret Darios comment, OpenAI & Anthropic need to get to Apple+Google+Meta revenue numbers in like single digit years?
