Why Sora Failed: $15M/day inference cost vs. $2.1M lifetime revenue - Lemmy: Bestiverse

Imagine if they spent 15M/day on fixing the climate instead…

$15m / day would do almost nothing. It’s a tiny amount compared to how much pollution is generated.

$15m / day is equivalent to about 5 cents per American per day. Meanwhile, the attacks on Iran are at least $1 billion per day, or about $3 per American per day. Even just in gasoline, Americans spend on average about $2.60 per day on gasoline (and that’s not per driver, that’s per American including little children, per household it’s $6.60 per day).

Americans spent $201/month on gas in 2024, or 3.1% of their budget. See how spending varies by income, age, and state.

Well yea, but still better than nothing
15M$/day is a good budget to start lobbying very efficiently. About as good as the total of all lobbying costs spent in the US.
Don’t lose hope brother. I feel like we are at the start of an hard fall, I still have hope, that people will have to react once it start to be crappy enough.
I just want it to fail sooner rather than later. And, I wish I could make some money betting that it would fall, because that would be so satisfying. But, it could be years before the bubble finally bursts.

Ok, but what’s the ARPU on fixing Climate change?
