A selection of graphs and results from various studies with short annotations.
I love such graphs because they excite the mind, although at the same time I understand that this is no longer about statistics, but about conceptual theories. In short, the computing power needed to train AI is growing seven times faster than before, according to OpenAI.
That is, it is not the lack of expertise that separates us from the Big Brother, but Moore's law. And what happens if, with the achievement of those ambitious machine learning goals that many companies are moving towards, it suddenly turns out that all this is unprofitable?
You must have heard about the hemp revolution in the states. About online stores, hundreds of millions of dollars in venture capital, about Boris Jordan? So, on Forbes, I came across a chart from RiskHedge, reflecting the volume of grass sales and its stocks. Another emerging bubble?
The numbers:
- Usually "wealth" is measured by capitalization. They say Apple became the first trillion dollar company, look at the Fortune 500, how the world has changed in ten years, blah blah blah. Once I that everyone is far from Saudi Aramco. So here is the valuation of the Arabian oil company before the IPO at $1,7 trillion.
- One day after the launch of Disney + over 10 million subscribers. Yes, of course, a certain number of people will fall off at the end of the trial, but this is 15% of the US Netflix subscriber base in 24 hours! More interesting is the dynamics of unsubscribes from Netflix.
- Canalys that shipments of Google Smart Speakers decreased by 40% YoY from 5,9 million to 3,5 million. Although shipments of smart speakers from Amazon, Alibaba, Xiaomi increased by about 70%, Baidu - by 290%. In general, the market is growing, and Google is losing its share.
- TikTok already 1,5 billion times, with over 600 million downloads this year. Axios more that TikTok has overtaken Facebook in terms of Gen Z user share. It will be interesting to see free market principles in the states.
- Microsoft Teams 20 mln DAU (+7k since July). For comparison, Slack has a daily audience of 12 million people (+2k since July). The capitalization of Butterfield's brainchild has almost halved since the IPO. And I remembered his letter with the wishes of good luck to Microsoft in the front pages of newspapers. He wished sincerely.
- Mask about 146 thousand pre-orders for Tesla Cybertruck. The pre-order costs $100 and, as I understand it, is just a place in the waiting line. In general, the strength of the brand can only be envied - about 15 cartoons out of thin air in a couple of days. Chic.
- During the analysis of 200 GB of data containing the history of transactions between Bitcoin and Tether, patterns were identified that are absent in other streams. Based on this, financiers conclude that two years ago, the reason for the increase in the cost of BTC to $20 is manipulation by one anonymous player (CEO Tether?). And also CNBC a study that found that 95% of Bitcoin spot trading volume is counterfeited by unregulated exchanges.
