If they are missing 'projections' by 90% it might be time to realize this isn't happening and pivot. Just like a CEO missing a projection by 'upward of 90%' and keeping their job.
Color me shocked! I'm sure this will help with the valuation of their IPO. Hahahaha
Also, how's SpaceX doing against what they told investors in their IPO prospectus?
Didn't formerly-twittef have that problem, too?
Musk found out that most companies don't want to be associated with porn bots and nazis when they declined to buy ads there.
‘The cost of protecting Oracle Corp.’s debt against default reached a fresh multi-year high on Monday while its existing bonds sold off, as doubts grew over whether the company’s massive investments in artificial intelligence will pay off.’ www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Yeah no fucking shit, it has never graduated from being a speculative bubble but countless rich dipshits threw their gold at it thinking it would magically shit even more back out
The focus here is on the poor results and low odds of AI capturing even 5% of the advertising revenues the sector needs. It’s just the tip of the iceberg. When AI is just another paid shill, like search has become, it’s useless. The whole tech sector relies on ads and is at risk, not just AI.
Are they planning chatbot ads as the main moneymaker, though? I'd think coding agents and api tokens would be the safest revenue stream to grow, esp since we don't even know if people will stick with chatbots as this tech grows.
I know this is a joke, but also:
1) They've already been asking their models which keep outputting "there is no path to profitability" in response.
2) At least some of the shareholder pitch decks they've used say "we will build a super-intelligence, then it will tell us how to make it profitable."
I can’t imagine working for an investor, peddling AI, encouraging the contribution of the over trillion dollars on infrastructure, and seeing a billion dollars in ad revenue from one of the largest AI companies off a projected $2.5b. How do you keep your job?
Get ready to watch your productivity get funnelled into propping up the industry in the interests of national strategic significance. They are a core of the establishment now and the establishment will starve your babies before it lets any part of it be seen to fail.
