OpenAI Valuation Hits $500 Billion

OpenAI’s latest valuation gives it a market value roughly equivalent to Exxon Mobil, 


which reported annual revenue of almost $350 billion last year and profit of more than $30 billion. 

The AI company, meanwhile, is expecting $13 billion of revenue this year and a net loss in the billions of dollars, The Wall Street Journal has previously reported.

Analysts estimate trillions of dollars of spending on AI products could be required annually to justify Silicon Valley’s investment spree if it continues, fanning concerns that the AI infrastructure frenzy is mirroring the build-out of fiber during the dot-com bubble.

 ”Det finns en överdriven förväntan på att AI ska generera snabba vinster. 

Många företag hoppar på tåget utan att veta hur tekniken ska integreras. Det är en modern guldrusch”, säger Ahmed Elgammal, professor i datavetenskap och föreståndare för Rutgers universitets AI-labb, som har verkat inom AI-fältet i 30 år.

Enbart de fyra techjättarna Microsoft Google Amazon och Meta väntas investera motsvarande cirka 3.400 miljarder kronor i år

Pfizer in 2019 sold $20 billion of drugs in the U.S. Its federal tax bill? Zero; Ireland

Trump has already singled out pharma companies and countries like Ireland that reap the benefits of tax-avoidance moves.  Despite its small size, Ireland ran an $87 billion trade surplus with the U.S. last year—larger than any country except China, Mexico and Vietnam. https://www.wsj.com/health/pharma/how-trumps-tariffs-could-upend-pharmas-overseas-tax-strategy-5b8ca758 Is Ireland vulnerable again as the world’s vast shadow banking system starts to crack? Shadow banking is the dog that has not barked during the latest global spasm of financial stress. This is very fortunate, especially for small countries such as Ireland that have bet the farm on this industry. https://englundmacro.blogspot.com/2023/04/is-ireland-vulnerable-again-as-worlds.html Cayman Islands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayman_Islands What the heck is happening in the Cayman Islands?

The breakdown of monetarism During the past decade, the links between economic activity, inflation, and monetary policy that were taken for granted in the 1980s and 1990s have completely broken down.  The pre-crisis dogma that inflation “is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon” has turned out to be nonsense, at least for advanced economies, where central banks have printed money like wallpaper without any inflationary response. Anatole Kaletsky Project Syndicate 23 April 2019 https://englundmacro.blogspot.com/2019/05/equity-prices-bond-prices-qand.html Detta är den grundläggande tanken för det som följer: Det fördes länge en debatt om vilket M som skulle vara bäst för att förutse framtiden.
