That page makes it look even better than it is. It's almost halfway to profitable, according to that. About 2/3 of that revenue is from Nvidia though, which is just selling the shovels for the gold rush speculation. It's not "AI profit" as if AI is producing something. It's just sales caused by people hoping it'll produce something in the future.
That's why you can click on “Hide infrastructure”, it then shows only $135B in revenue (for $1.2T spent).
Idk the source of that data but OMG look at anthropic, 6.5b revenue but recently "evaluated" ~1 trillion USD. Is that for real?
Yeah, all speculative.
"To the moon" you say? Take my money!
Ahahahahaha Facebook has dumped roughly the same amount of money into AI as Microsoft, but makes 1/10th the revenue. Pure gold
A very useful metric here would be a $/day to see if it's slowing down or speeding up.
It is updated once a month
What is?
It
The data on this website. You wouldn’t see a rate change more often than once a month.
Ok, then $/month for each company and also show a chart to see what the trend is.
What you said is incorrect though. The "data" on the website is changing constantly. What gets updated once per month is the rate at which these companies are burning money. It's not the same thing.
Btw, pro tip, lemmy doesn't charge per character or anything. You can write as many words as you like.
Said the guy/girl who didn’t even bother to read what the website says.. why should I spend my limited time typing out what they have already written?
See this paragraph:
Except that you're answering a question I never asked? I simply said that a $/month number over time would be useful. That is currently not on the website.
Maybe you should think about improving your reading comprehension skills before criticizing other people.
