    We’re up to 8.3 billion people now, fam.

    6 trillion / 8.3 billion = ~750

    And that number has to be spread over 5 years since the target date to raise the 6 trillion is 2031.

    750 / 5 = 150

    But, like I said, that’s still just a conservative estimate that doesn’t account for the fact that the AI firms have astronomical operating costs to cover.

      The$6T number is per year revenue target in 2031. 6B is a round number, but facebook has 3b monthly active users, and google ai overview has 2.5b monthly active users. baidu (no google overlap) has 644m monthly active users. So at 3b internet connected users addressable or so, its $2000/user. MAUs double count work/personal/multiple/bot accounts.

      Also, there’s about 1b desk/knowledge workers in the world. = $6000/job/year

        Jesus… I totally misread the article. I thought it was 6 trillion total, not 6 trillion yearly revenue. That’s so, so much worse.
