Yes, they could. Question, if they will? - Only government could just rise taxes (or just print money) to gather additional 100B, just because they need money. But very few businesses could do such things in so short term and without very s

Could ad blockers make $1000B annual profits? Well, I already googled, now internet ads market WHOLE is about $300B, and predicted to become more than $1000B in 2027. So they are not candidate to pay ALL capex for AI. Nearest time only poss

I remember old article, on HBR, said, semiconductor fabs are now underloaded (predicted about 70% load), so very much sense to create fabless manufacturer. Looks like, AMD was right, to separate fabs and become fabless, and SEC for some rea

This is not margin question. This is question, of extreme energy ineffectiveness of current AI, so even most energy-effective GPUs spent their cost to energy in less than year (if used 100% of time). FPGAs and ASICs are better on energy eff

This is not answering question, on what OpenAI will earn money. As even using only Nvidia chips, industry need somewhere gather ~$1000B (half of this is OpenAI share now), but with custom chips will be at least 3-4 times larger numbers.

Good thoughts, really. Author said, people enter BIG race, to buy huge number of GPUs, but at the moment not seen, from where their cost will be paid. I mean, if $200B should been invested, this must consider at least 4 x $200B of returns (

They are definitely fabless. But in reality, fabs are not loaded by 100%. Usual practice, fabs loaded to 60-90% depend on local things, and due to incompatibilities. Slightly more details. Usual fab cannot just take masks and copy them to o
