Which one will hit $1T first?

Is it worth it if I have an AI related idea to try and get it built ?

It'll take a solid year and about 30k.

Any chance of even talking to a VC as an outsider?

If it only takes 30k can't you bootstrap and built it yourself? Or even just work on it on the side alongside your day job.

I'm going to need more than 30k to achieve a profit.

I'm basically hiring a part time front end junior assistant to fill in some gaps.

I'm hiring out of a cheaper county where 30k can actually do something. The idea is the first 30 gets an MVP done.

I don't think I could finish anything worth selling for that.

Might as well try, the worst that can happen is they say no or ignore your email.

Series what?

There's a logical limit to this "private markets are the new public markets" crap. Once they finish Series Z, they have to IPO. It's the law.

It’s about time the western world finally changes from a five to four-day work week!

That’s just about the most tangible benefit I see this AI breakthrough delivering. What an asset to have too, socially and civilly, especially when compared to the west’s primary adversary: the CCCP and its communist message of ‘equality’ for the people when they’re still working six days a week!

The greatest failure of American capitalism today is that meteoric companies take decades to trade on public markets instead of years. Only the already wealthy and connected are allowed to invest in these kinds of opportunities. In the 80s and 90s Anthropic would have been trading on NYSE already. Zoomers have it rough ...

Why are they bothering with billions of dollars when crypto coins already delivered, right on schedule, the new foundation of global currency? Why aren't these previous investors pouring all of their BTC into Anthropic as fast as possible? Isn't $183,000,000,000 a massive signal that this next leap for Silicon Valley will be as solid as their previous revolution?

> Headline: OpenAI raises 400 Trillion, proclaims dominion over the delta quadrant

> Top comment: This just proves that it's a bubble. No AI company has been profitable, we're in the era of diminishing returns. I don't know one real use case for AI

It's hilarious how routinely bearish this site is about AI. I guess it makes sense given how much AI devalues siloed tech expertise.

comment history appears to be an AI shill account.

why would nvidia not create their own foundational model?
krupan 9/2/2025||
Why didn't the people selling shovels to gold miners dig for gold themselves?

Because Nvidia is making actual profit selling hardware to those who do, not hoping for a big payout sometime in the future. Different risk/reward model, different goals.

They are printing money right now, and their customers are taking all the risk. Just keep delivering and enjoy success.

They have a bunch of Nemotron models. They can make more money from five(?) competing frontier labs than from trying to monopolize the frontier themselves.
aurareturn 9/3/2025||
I'm pretty sure Nemotron models are their internal teams dogfooding to learn more about the latest AI advancements in software.

Why doesn't Apple make their own iPhones instead of contracting them to Foxconn?

Comparative advantage.
