Dear Fedi friends,

I hereby present you my new favorite website: isaiprofitable.com, which tracks the spending and revenue of all the major AI companies.

Oh it is glorious - the perfect link to share with AI-pilled people in your life.

Spoiler alert: there is a NO in big red letters on the homepage. And there's a running tally of the money spent on AI since the page loaded.

@davidgerard you would love it

The really depressing thing is thinking what could have been done with 1.4 trillion dollars. That's what people in the future won't believe. "They spent it on chatbots when children were starving and the biosphere was collapsing?!?"

I love how this is presented where at first glance you read the numbers up top and get the impression that they're half way to profitability until you scroll down and realize that Nvidia is the only company making money and nobody else is even close @davidgerard

Thank you for a consequential followup to web3isgoinggreat.com

I would have wished for a little bit more cynical name though.

Also, it seems so far that there's only one profiteer in the gravedigger business: the shovel maker.

@janbeta Just imagine the numbers without nVidia in the list (and should they really be counted? They actually make products…)

@bradthornborrow @janbeta As noted elsewhere, this is demonstration of the principle of 'in a gold rush, the guy making money is the guy selling the picks and shovels.'

I sent this site to someone I know who preaches that “capitalism will shift the market towards saving the planet’s ecosystem”

He sent me back a screenshot of the change in NVDA price over the past couple years and said “It’s done pretty well for the past 3.5 years! The answer is yes, AI has been very profitable [for] anyone with exposure to those AI platform stocks in an IRA or 401(k) and many users of ChatGPT, Claude, etc, who pay little but now can’t imagine life without it”

Selling shovels & supplies was where the money was during most gold rushes.

I'm engaged in a Mastodon chat with someone like this right now. I sent them the URL, but I don't think they opened it.

It's difficult to convince someone of something when their paycheck depend on them not understanding it.

so, the question now is where are going them to allocate the debt, if it is possible (may be not).

@davidgerard@circumstances.run

for those of you who don't live in the real world:

It is 100% normal for a startup capital intensive business, or a startup capital intensive tech, to run at a loss for several years

So basically Apple is the winner here? While they did not join the AI train because of internal issues, they might have dodged a bullet here?

I'm confus. I thought we don't like it when big companies make a profit. The AI companies are running as nonprofits? Is that bad. I don't know how to do financial.

And why is NVIDIA doing so much better than the others? Because it's the one that's earning money the others spend?

Not surprised with Nvidia being the only one profitable in the list. “Sell the pick and shovel during a gold rush” as the saying goes

Like a lot of tech companies the profit comes from selling your shares in the company for a gain before it never turns a profit

Good link, tankees!

It's not uncommon for the nail-makers to rake it in during a gold rush, so Nvidia's early jackpot makes sense.

Doubt they'll be the ones with the last laugh though. If anyone remembers laughter, that is.
