    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.

    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%

      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.

    Meanwhile, in the real world, my company has locked down usage of Anthropic’s top-tier models, because costs were out of control. Even the low-end models are usage-capped, and developers are starting to write code by hand again.

    And we’re busily setting up local models we control ourselves on our network edge. We’ll probably end up with a modest budget for frontier models (until the model providers collapse), but most of the coding will be done by local models and developers themselves.

    And that seems to be the way the entire industry is going, unless Anthropic starts subsidizing tokens with investor money again.

    In conclusion: Get fucked, Dario.

      Anthropic is only useable within a subscription. Once you hit that limit, you pay like 10x more per token. Fuck that.

      If you’re running Apple hardware I’ve liked what little I’ve seen personally from the MLX enhanced models running locally.

        Honest answer? Not much… yet. As the stupidity of “tokenmaxxing” and replacing developers with hallucinations-and-plagiarism engines really comes into focus, I expect developer hiring to ramp back up.

    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?

      Yeah but how would you motivate people to keep their abusive underpaying jobs without the implicit threat of homelessness?
