    So the global total GDP this year is estimated to be $100trillion. Anthropic expects it’s revenue to eventually be equivalent to 30% of global GDP? US GDP is expected to be $32trillion this year. Antrhopic expects it’s revenue to be eventually be equivalent to 94% of US GDP?

    And we’re supposed to believe we’re not in a bubble?

      Woah woah woah! You need to factor in that spaceX said it’s looking at $28T

      I feel we’re watch a game of bullshitters.

      SpaceX expects 26T. OpenAI didn’t say but if you ask Sam he’ll make up a number for you for the last third of world GDP.

      Their argument is that AI will make everybody so productive that world GDP will grow massively. Not that there really is any evidence for that, but hallucinating things is now a business plan.

      Total addressable market is the amount of revenue they think is available to all AI providers, combined. So it makes sense that this is in the same ballpark as SpaceX’s “enterprise services” estimate.

      And yes they believe 25% of the economy can be automated with AI. Which is a big downgrade from 100%

      I don’t believe that for a second. Tokens are legit made up bullshit. Unless Nvidia is investing $4.9-9.9 billion, that math ain’t mathing.

      Yes, but if you sum up those 10 billions for the next billion years of stable growth they’ll definitely eventually accrue that trillion figure.

    I don’t get it, that’s less than the global GDP, why is there parts of the global GDP they don’t consider accessible?
    Or in other words, If they really go on to claim that, they are claiming that more than a quarter of the world GDP is accessible market to them!

    This is insane, and has no basis in any kind of possible reality no matter how optimistically viewed.

    I would love to see the logic behind that belief. It’s gonna be a good read. According to the first few results on the internet, the entier oil industry is, like, 4 Trillion per year (IEA says 3.5 Trillion in 2018). What the fuck is the slop bot supposed to do to make almost an entire US GDP of money?

    Where is this money coming from? VC’s sure as hell don’t want their companies spending big. Billionairs obviously won’t spend money on anything other than buying elections. Normal people have no money to spend on AI. So … what is the revenue stream? Don’t tell me it’s ads.

      The worst part is I don’t even think that they think they’re lying.

      They’re so delusional that they 100% believe what they’re saying.

        They are absolutely delusional enough to think that THEIR company will eventually reach AGI but I don’t think any truly believe these numbers.

        There’s been no consequences for lying, only more profit. Look at the space X ipo…The market has shown they’ll pay whatever they’re told to so lie lie lie.

        Lying gets you customers, investors, and government subsidies. And when your competitor lies, you just have to lie harder. The grift economy.

          Even if they achieve AGI they can’t control it themselves, because that would be slavery.

      I think some of them actually believe. Like on Blind where the tech bros think $100k/yr is poverty wage. They haven’t been living in reality in a long time. The tech boom has been going on since what like 2010. It’s far longer than the dotcom bubble. They keep managing to jump from one fad to the next. It’s far eclipsed prior bubbles.
