Of course, we just need to figure out how every person on earth would make at least $7,000 after they loose their job on the name of AI. (Assuming they need at least $3,500 for other basic needs).

Babies included.

instead of 10 years priced in, like what, here 2 generations priced in?

Agree with the absurdity. I also had to look at are there other absurd but real things. Estimating at 4.2 trillion in oil revenue is about $500 per person globally. Until you factor in the uneven distribution of that revenue what seems like an order of magnitude problem goes away.

There are of course many other holes to poke in a high level estimate like this.

I'm sure they can extract $3,500 worth of value from everyone's existence.

Stretch the timeline out enough and add enough inflation and anything is possible!

Put 100% tariffs on everything and drive inflation and trade wars up.

Their friends control the Central Banks and the printing will continue until $30T buys you a loaf of bread

Yeah. I see this estimate as either A) hot air (my serious take), or B) a dire warning of out of control inflation, or C) a prediction that they'll be a going concern in 500 years when $30T is in fact an average corporate revenue figure if the USD still exists by then.

a) No. That is not realistic. Some would pay much more, most others way less.

b) If they get $3500 + x in return, why not? The pie is not fixed.

I have completed stopped using Anthropic since Kimi 3 released, and only ever K3 and Codex nowadays. I pay for K3, and get Codex and Claude free from work. Almost everyone I know prefers Codex to Claude.

All my friends know that Sam Altman uses astroturf as carpeting in his office.

You can review my post history to see I'm not astroturfing. I don't know what else to say except continue coping. Try searching 'opus 5' on twitter to see what a shit show that model is.

In fact, we should put an AI Tax on everything you buy, because AI was used somewhere to make it

The question isn't whether or not every person pays $3500, but whether or not businesses can extract more than $3500 of value from their interactions with you to make it worthwhile for them to pay.
