@_elena This is outstanding and I have collected the link here. https://manzokuan.blogspot.com/p/information-for-future-envirohealers.html

@_elena lmao I love this. Thank you for showing just how unsustainable the industry known as AI is currently

@_elena @davidgerard Nvidia is like: 'your loss is my gain'.

@_elena @davidgerard 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.

@_elena @davidgerard nvidia tho 🫃

@_elena @davidgerard glorious, and just what I need next time this codswallop comes up at work

@_elena @davidgerard Suggestion: An additional bar that accounts for externalized costs, such as fresh water spoilage, grid strain, and increased pollution from dirty power sources.

@_elena @davidgerard hello Elena

@_elena @davidgerard

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

They're on bad spanish, you'll need a translator or something, don't discard them because of language.

this space is too short to give you a preview. alright: #iacontent #sensitive .
Yes: AI conversation.

@rebeccawatson

@_elena @davidgerard And note who's profiting selling what will peak as inflationed soon.

@_elena @davidgerard

A film maker gleeing at something not profitable.

Classic.

@_elena Anthropic just had its first profitable quarter. 😞

And the only one profiting from this gold rush is the shovel seller, because of course

@_elena @davidgerard 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

@_elena genuine lol. Thanks for sharing

@_elena @davidgerard questo dimostra che @DataKnightmare ha ragione quando dice che nella corsa all'oro chi vince èvil venditore di pale e picconi.

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

@_elena Duckduckgo simply does not load that page, Chrome warns me that this website is dangerous. Intetesting.

@_elena @davidgerard 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.

@_elena @davidgerard

Thanks for sharing the info! 👍 🌹

@_elena @davidgerard 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?

@_elena @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

@_elena @davidgerard Maybe only Apple is earning money 😊 their Mac minis and studio are perfect devices for local ai!

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

@_elena @davidgerard

It's missing a "No (unless you're Nvidia)" footnote

@_elena @davidgerard

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.

@_elena been sending it around and everyone's sending it to me

@_elena @davidgerard
Selling shovels & supplies was were the money was during most gold rushes.

@_elena
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”

@_elena that blue number increases way too much for my liking #fuckai

@_elena @davidgerard

This reminds me the 2K dotcom era, and specifically this french parody website.😋

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

@_elena

Quand ça va péter, ça va être horrible et spectaculaire.

@_elena money-wise no. But as regards total control and power?

@davidgerard

@davidgerard @_elena

@_elena

Thank you for a consequential followup to https://www.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.

@_elena 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

@_elena @davidgerard 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?!?"
