  • Fwiw they’re just collecting a paycheck. Sure it’s scummy for them to not reject the businesses offering them the money but tbh I really don’t blame them - I’d probably take the cash too.

    Depending on the channel size sponsored ad reads can deliver upwards of multiple thousand per video for the creator. If you see multiple channels with the same ads, it’s bc the company advertising got a big budget approved, that’s it.

    Imo just skip the ad reads (or get sponsorblock) and forget they exist. Usually the creator doesn’t even give a fuck who’s paying them or why. They are victims of the system too, not maliciously peddling garbage. I do wish they didn’t have to peddle anything, but here we are.




  • Read the article, sounds like both parties are just blowing smoke. At the end it tells us current investment into this market was less than 100b last year. So 1tril is a 10x investment of the yearly we see today. It also suggested the entire chip industry is valued at about 600b. So Sam is looking to take a 10x investment into the space?

    Altman’s fundraising goal of $5 trillion to $7 trillion far exceeds the present valuation of the worldwide semiconductor industry, which recorded sales of $527 billion last year and is anticipated to hit the $1 trillion mark by 2030. Meanwhile, chip manufacturers invested $99.5 billion in chip fabrication equipment in 2022 and are projected to allocate $97 billion for fabrication tools this year.

    I mean I believe the numbers they come up with, that they want to 10x the space. But it’s a ludicrous goal that doesn’t really make sense in practice.
