It's fundamentally a leap of faith that AI will work out. The entirety of OAI is exactly that - a triple bet the farm on AI.

Whether this works out or not no longer depends on the specifics of the deals. This either works big picture or it's all a smoking crater



Sounds like you are talking about AGI or superintelligence or something? Because productive AI tools are already here and have been for a few years. AI has already "worked out". Nothing speculative about that.


> AI has already "worked out".

Not commercially to an extent that supports the massive infra buildout

A couple of neat productivity tricks don’t pay for a 500 billion stargate rollout


> A couple of neat productivity tricks

This level of denialism if insane.

What exactly do you want?

What level of proof would be enough for you to admit that AI has worked out?


Lets assume AI has worked out. Can you point me to the effect on earnings of the customers of said AI tools who have publicly disclosed the affect on earnings because of said tools?

Thanks.


You're sarcastic while there are plenty of examples of the exact thing you ask. But sure. Here's one example: https://x.com/levelsio


Errm thats nothing of the kind I requested.

So I continue to sit here laughing. Keep coming back with weak evidence though.


This is literally the exact thing you requested, which was:

> Can you point me to the effect on earnings of the customers of said AI tools

Just looking at the overview of Levels' ventures listed in the Bio:

http://PhotoAI.com $141K/m

http://InteriorAI.com $29K/m

http://RemoteOK.com $34K/m

http://Nomads.com $14K/m

http://levelsio.com $14K/m

http://pieter.com $6K/m

You can see that his old ventures (which he has built over many many years) are bringing in less money than his new ventures (built over fewer years). How is this not "effect on earnings of the customers of said AI tools"? Levels is a customer of AI tools. His earnings have gone way up as a result of AI tools.
