>Except the "profit that is mathematically impossible" part. That's just made up and false. It's entirely possible that we are actually underestimating demand, and there is going to be tons of profit.

JP Morgan says $650 billion in annual revenue required to deliver mere 10% return on AI buildout is equivalent to $35 payment from every iPhone user, or $180 from every Netflix subscriber 'in perpetuity.'

Very, very, very unlikely it makes profit, which why AI keeps getting overhyped by CEOs.

Question to your question: How many will actually get a job?

When the system fails to reward compliance, that begrudging conformity will eventually curdle into systemic disruption.

History has proven so time & time again.

Lock a massive class of highly educated, financially desperate young people out of the economy.. they won't just starve in silence. They organize unions, radicalize politics, and ultimately rewrite the rules of the game.

might be closer to accurate if the 2-5% is his estimate of the physical time spent making key-strokes

Because U.S. corporations were taxed on a total of gross receipts of roughly $40T, while personal income was taxed on a much tighter pool of roughly $23.9T.

Very painful to see Corporate income taxes @ 8%, vs. Personal income taxes @ 36%. on the income pie chart^

However, not at all surprised. That stat would arguably make the most material difference to voters, if only they knew about it.

Edit: Adds another degree of pain when you consider that the CEO-to-worker pay ratio reached 281-to-1 in 2024.

That is absolutely terrifying.

Now they just need every iPhone owner on the planet to subscribe, and this AI bubble will officially be unpoppable!

It's wild how the President literally said, "I love the poorly educated." It turns out that when you treat a PhD like a deep-state conspiracy and a high school diploma like a Nobel Prize, you just get a country that tries to fix its power grid with thoughts, prayers, and a sharpie.

To be fair, this same realist perspective seems to suggest humans would not have been capable of developing a COVID vaccine for 5 to 10 years; yet, they identified the virus and authorized vaccine use within eight months.

Thank you for reminding me about the Nobel War Prize.

It's a shame that history has repeated itself here, political satire has yet again become obsolete.

The Netherlands typically accounts for roughly 1.5% to 2% of the global video game market. After applying this share to Epic’s global estimated revenue of $5.7 billion, we can estimate roughly $100 million to $115 million for 2024.

1) Total Estimated Epic Revenue: $5.7 billion https://sacra.com/c/epic-games/ 2) Global Gaming Market: $187.7 billion https://best-of-gaming.be/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2024_Ne... 3) The Netherlands Gaming Market Size: $2.5 billion https://www.imarcgroup.com/netherlands-gaming-market

Fear not- there is research in this area~

https://www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-information/site-modera...

even coded detectors exist https://www.submithub.com/ai-song-checker?id=09f25ee7913a415...

So there's really accurate ways to detect "pure AI". The AI music detectors out there are mainly looking out for production things:

-a flatness to the EQ spectrum that you wouldn't get out a properly mixed and produced piece of audio

-no good stem separation, so no per-source eq (relates to above point)

-change BPM mid-song

-unnatural warbles at the end of every phrase

-vocals will have these weird croaky voice cracks, or sound scratchier and raspier

There definitely are tell-tale signs of "pure AI" in audio, but it becomes a lot more nuanced when any sort of secondary mixing/mastering/compression happens (which is the case 90% is the time in the real world- anything on YouTube/Spotify get's compressed).

This has insanely incredible potential for language learning. Do you plan to implement support for additional languages?

So there's French Guiana, and then Guyana. Both are part of the Guianas (or Guyanas/Guayanas).

The "Guiana" region (land of waters), was home to the Arawak and Carib peoples, and then there was a colonial scramble between the Dutch, English and French over the last half millennia-- each respectively took over some portion and then slapped their names on it.

Guyana is independently english speaking because they were colonized by the British- centuries ago it used to go by British Guiana.

French Guiana is basically an overseas department of France.
