The linked site lists substantially outdated cumulative revenue figures for AI labs such as Anthropic ($22B since 2021) and DeepSeek ($0.2B), which lag recent reports of far higher current annualized run rates. isaiprofitable.com bloomberg.com/news/articles/… techcrunch.com/2026/08/17/ant… reuters.com/world/asia-pac…

I actually want to add an addendum to this, some companies just get their semi accidentally, they grow very quickly with minimal costs, and of course that’s better than spending more money (thinking of you, Linear) but there is no righteousness in profitability for its own sake

based on purely public info, this disparity is heavily driven by a few frontier labs but it really matters that those labs are in the US and not the EU!

Stripe claimable sandboxes are very cool! You can now use them in RevenueCat to kick the tires on some RC+Stripe features before committing to setting up a full Stripe account.

If you're using @RevenueCat on @trust_mrr... You can now upload an API key instead of the Verified Metrics URLs. Your iOS/Android app page will show - All-time revenue (not just the last 30 days) - MRR all-time - and churn! This is possible since RevenueCat released the Charts API earlier this year. If you've already listed, you can migrate directly from your dashboard > My Startups > Payment Provider.

It’s really kind of a miracle that inference is so cheap. You could imagine a reality where a query costs as much as the training and we’d have AI but effectively it’s unviable as a technology.

The replies to this post have me convinced there should be a basic test required before you’re allowed to buy equities.
Why do we track stock price when it’s just the market cap of a company divided by a public but arbitrary number?
