Generative AI
Charles Fitzgerald at Platformonomics just laid out the math on OpenAI, and it's brutal. $115B burn through 2029. That was before the latest announcements. The FT estimates they've " signed about $1tn in deals this year for computing power." While the numbers are absolutely eye watering, at least they have a vision for what to do with it (even if they can't fund it without the GDP of a medium sized country). Your take away? If OpenAI doesn't have the money, you DEFINITELY don't have the money. The Wile E. Coyote Moment I love the Wile E. Coyote metaphor.
