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?

Humane generated negative $114M. They turned $230M into $116M.

My prospectus is to buy a $1M house, throw $1M parties every day for a month, and burn the house down at the end and sell the charred remains for $1. I'll take a million dollar salary for these services. Then I'll shut it all down and return the leftovers to the investors.

So total expenses for this endeavor: $1M + 31 * $1M + $1M in salaries so $33M. That's $81M better than Humane did, and I'll do it in less time!
