On: AI needs $6T in annual revenue to justify data centre boom

[cm2187]

Active working population: north america: 195 millions, europe: 366 millions (says ChatGPT).

$6 trillion a year / 195+366m = $900 a month, from the guy flipping burgers to the hedge fund manager. Average salary is in the region of $5000 a month, pre-tax.

I love AI, spend my evening clauding. But still. Call me a sceptic on paying $1000 a month.

I think the valuation is based on them replacing that $5000/mo salary with $1000/mo in AI credits. From that perspective its great deal.

My point is that you need to do that with 100.0% of the workforce!
