    Dear Fedi friends,

    I hereby present you my new favorite website: https://isaiprofitable.com, which tracks the spending and revenue of all the major AI companies.

    Oh it is glorious - the perfect link to share with AI-pilled people in your life.

    Spoiler alert: there is a NO in big red letters on the homepage. And there's a running tally of the money spent on AI since the page loaded.

    @davidgerard you would love it

    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

                      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”

                        @bradthornborrow @_elena @davidgerard @janbeta As noted elsewhere, this is demonstration of the principle of 'in a gold rush, the guy making money is the guy selling the picks and shovels.'

                                  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.

                                    Selling shovels & supplies was where the money was during most gold rushes.

                                      Dear Fedi friends,

                                      I hereby present you my new favorite website: https://isaiprofitable.com, which tracks the spending and revenue of all the major AI companies.

                                      Oh it is glorious - the perfect link to share with AI-pilled people in your life.

                                      Spoiler alert: there is a NO in big red letters on the homepage. And there's a running tally of the money spent on AI since the page loaded.

                                      @davidgerard you would love it

                                      #AIresistance

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

                                        @_elena @davidgerard why does it matter if it's profitable? (I abhor "AI", BTW)

                                        @hrast lack of profit may convince the general public that it isn’t worth further destroying the environment for
