Yes could be but we don't know yet how big the overall market will be.

If you have in every single industry AI tokens, it will replace wages. In USA alone thats 15 Trillion. If its just 10% the USA market alone are 1.5T without the value added.

That is the only future where the valuation makes sense. But I'm afraid to think about how a society where that[1] happens will behave. My guess is that it would become _highly_ unstable.

[1] Say >10% of people of employable age suddenly becomes superfluous with not much prospect of finding new jobs (since AI eats those too).

If you give me ANY idea of why you think my argument is stupid, we could actually discuss it?

My company is building an agentic layer in its product, google and the other hyperscalers do that too.

I already want to get rid of one person in my team because he was slow before but was able to contribute something, now I want to have his position as AI tokens.

you think 10% of the entire usa market is gonna go to anthropic and I'm supposed to somehow find a way with words for you to understand how stupid that sounds?

You are still not discussing or talking in good faith at all.

No i don't say that 10% of the entire USA market is gonna go to anthropic.

I said what the market overall could look like. USA is not the only country out there.

Why has Walmart such a high evaluation despite them only being in USA?

Why is Apple at 5 Trillion? They only make Laptops and Smartphones, everyone else is doing this too.

Why is Space-X 1.8 Trillion? Because of 10 Million Starlink customers?

I think AI is a disruptive technology.
