That announcement is a bit short on details. I suppose that, like in the previous rounds, there are some strings attached and they'll not get all of it at once.

Hynix is participating with a new circular deal. Hynix is also valued at $1 trillion now, which is positively insane.

This scam will implode harder that the housing bubble.

The circulation of money in AI is deeply troubling (NVIDIA being one of the worst I believe), either the bubble doesn’t pop and corruption like this is considered legal (self-inflating money amongst friends) or it pops and the financial hurt will be felt for a decade.

Revenue up to $47B. Looking forward to the Ed Zitron hot take on this one! No doubt he will fling more baseless accusations of fraud and other nonsense.

*run-rate revenue

Without more information, this number is impossible to interpret.

This has become a meme which is way out over its skis. Yes, run-rate is not the complete story, but "impossible to interpret" is way overstating the case.

Unless you have access to Anthropics book your claim is as baseless as Ed Zitron's ...

With all that revenue, while being the most expensive model, they are still unprofitable without trickery.

This really doesn't paint the good picture you seem to imply.

What do they then need another $65B for? To sell 200$ plans that cost them 1000$ to fullfill.

I can have $47B in revenue if I sell something that cost $80B to produce ez pz.

This is likely the last fund raise before going public.

You can't spell Anthropic or OpenAI without "IPO". You can remove the "c" in anthropic, reverse it and the first 3 letters is "ipo".

But you certainly can spell both of them without "AGI".

Therefore, "AGI" is a complete scam and it actually was meant to be a giant IPO.

I think your conclusion might be right that AGI does just feel a bunch of hype but the reasoning in middle feels flawed...

like how 13^2=169 and 31^2=961 or 10^2+11^2+12^2=13^2+14^2
