This thread is funny. Everyone tells him the answer is "volume".

I think we can reduce this down to three metrics:

Revenue: $4.6B
COGS: $7.3B
Anticipated infra obligations: $520B

These numbers just make no sense. This business doesn't have PMF if they can't sell it at a number that covers their cost to serve (and that's before amortizing $520B of compute obligations, allocating training costs etc). They're selling $1.00 for $0.60 and we think they're worth $2T?

Somebody make the valuation make sense to me. I'm not a doomer by any means, but I'm a business person and this quite literally does not compute. cc @edzitron

Unless there's some weird anomaly where if you lose enough billions, you actually get more attractive to investors b/c how would a trash company raise enough money to lose that much? I guess VCs have invested with worse theses so maybe...
