You’re kidding, right? In no way did Humane generate $115 million; they lost over $100 million. The list of ways not to do that is infinite.

Start with: an AI which emits a binary yes/no to, “Should I invest some of this $230 million such that it becomes $115 million 5 years from now.”

I mistakenly thought they generated a totally of $116 million in revenue.

I meant to ask "If you were to get $230 million, how would you plan to generate as much money as Humane was able to generate during the length of its existence". Do you have an answer?

If you were pitching that to me, I'd ask: what is the AI's confidence in its answer, and how can you verify that?
