Tell HN: No company scaled revenue as fast as AI companies

2•silexia•1h ago
No company in recorded business history has scaled recurring revenue as fast as OpenAI and Anthropic. Forecasts show AI is advancing far faster than all human predictions. If you don't use paid frontier AI daily, your mental model is likely far behind where it currently is. Even for those of us who do use it daily, we are shocked by the massive intelligence gains every time we use it.

I am building a serious program using AI and I have yet to write a single line of code. AI has resolved 99.9% of bugs without me, and has come up with 95% of the features and roadmap. If AI costing a few hundred dollars can do this, what is going on inside the AI companies is beyond imagining.

We are not on a linear curve, we are on an exponential curve. One day soon, perhaps today, it will be so far further than human intelligence that we will never have another chance. Our only chance to survive may be right now today or tomorrow. Human institutions like Congress are not built to handle exponential curves like this. Please call, email, or visit in person every single member of Congress you can right away. If you are working in an AI company, pull the plug now.

The best experts in AI give us 10-50% chance that it will kill every man, woman, and child. We only get one chance to get this right.

How does AI go from being able to produce software with 95% of the features, to killing every man, woman and child?

People need to stop it with the ai doomerism.

Climate change will kill way more people than ai ever will, but you dont hear a pip about that from those claiming ai apocalypse.
