reply> Gartner forecasts that large AI companies would need to earn cumulatively close to $7 trillion in AI-driven revenue through 2029, which is close to $2 trillion per year by the end of the period. In order to achieve “historic returns,” the providers would need to earn nearly $8.2 trillion in the same period.
Those numbers don't even track even in the same sentence. If it is $2T/year by the end of 2029, it would be something < $6T cumulative in 3 years.
reply“Through” 2029 is a bit more than three and a half years. The $2T are likely the yearly average of the $7T in that period.
replyThe numbers are made up political correctness anyway.
replyEveryone's agency is 100% captured by belief in Wall Street. Too few <50 have any meaningful labor skills to blink.
We'll continue to have consent manufactured via media platforms and in 3 years no one will bat an eye at these companies being worth $12 trillion as Altman and Musk climb two ladders holding a "mission accomplished" banner.
