            That's one aspect - #AI as a fossil fuel support industry.
            Secondly, killing off the free information web, journalism, art, creativity for good - that's worth the initial losses.

                Yes, that might become interesting ... Snake choking on its own tail ... Or rather its own excrements.
                Perhaps new models of monetization? Content sweatshops (well, we kinda have those already)?
                The degradation already shows ... The web drowning in its own slop.

                  Omg bookmarked immediately.

                  I'm under the impression that Midjourney is profitable? (at least for now, lawsuits pending)

                      The link has a nice near real-time graph of the spending.
                      Only Nvidia has made any money.
                      Oracle hasn't lost anywhere near enough to suit me yet.

                            seeing amazon at the very top is both surprising and funny considering they don't even have a public ai product that i know of

                            I guess the companies losing the most are the ones actually building the datacenters, with the expectation that eventually usage will be so high that openai/anthropic/whoever will eventually be able to pay them back in rent?

                                @sebastian @julesbl @PaulaToThePeople @MikeElgan Can't personal websites help with that?

                                Genuinely asking, not trying to be a smartass. I know the outlook isn't good, just thought that people should do their part individually as well.

                                I know creating and maintaining content isn't easy, nor cheap. But perhaps what the internet lacks is more people making simpler websites with real content. An interconnected yet decentralized/independent web of real content, like we had in the past.

                                    @MikeElgan that can't be right, OpenAI look like they're not entirely setting money on fire. I guess they have some very creative accounting tricks to make it look like they're only half going broke.

                                        xAI's ratio seems to be even worse than Meta's although the actual numbers are better than most.

                                          Now you can keep track of how many billions the AI companies are losing on AI. (Red is spending, green is revenue.) https://isaiprofitable.com/

                                          @MikeElgan I don't think that those companies would spend so much money, with such little short term return if it did not make sense to do it.

                                          What do you think will be the longer term return? Is this a combined competitive loss? Are they each compelled to do this? It seems like a lot but, are any of these companies going broke on this?

                                          What is the end-game here?
