Would you be able to quantify how useful it is? Trillions are at stake here, so you’ll need to get specific.

I can't quantify how useful GitHub is as a software developer either. That doesn't prove it's useless, just that it's hard to quantify.

I never said it was useless. But you better be able to quantify the value of something you’re spending trillions of dollars building.

This seems like common sense to me.

Some numbers for the people in the back.

The header looks not too bad until you realize that 2/3 of the industry revenue is Nvidia ... If you remove the shovel sellers (Micron/Nvidia/AMD) revenue is left at $183B.

Yep you see how deep the scam goes. It’s like in the gold rush if the ONLY people that made money were the one shovel seller.

Some logic for those who don't do numbers:

Token rates need to double in order for the industry to "break even".

In reality, just "breaking even" is not enough. Venture capital expects a sizeable return on their investment. So look for token rates to triple.

In reality, most companies are not at all prepared to feed AI vendors what they need in order to become profitable.

Uber is an early example of what is in store.
