0:00Now, the second problem with AI
0:01is that even if every company in America trusted these AI companies,
0:05the money still does not make sense.
0:07Because the business model is broken
0:08in a way we've never seen from tech companies.
0:11Because here's how software is supposed to make money.
0:14Software is the greatest business model ever invented
0:16because you spend a lot of money building the thing at once, right?
0:20And then every new customer is basically free money.
0:22That's why tech stocks have done so well over the past few decades.
0:26When you buy Microsoft Excel,
0:28like, Microsoft doesn't spend anything extra to sell you that copy.
0:31Their costs stay the same,
0:33but their revenue goes up.
0:34And it's the gap between those two lines that is their profit.
0:38And that gap is why tech companies,
0:39the most valuable companies on earth now,
0:41A I, broke that model.
0:44And how they broke it
0:45was every single time you ask chat GPT a question.
0:48Right now, it costs open AI money cause it uses electricity.
0:52Chips are being worn down.
0:53So more customers does not translate to free money anymore.
0:58More customers means more cost,
1:00dollar for dollar. So AI is not a software business.
1:03It's more like a restaurant.
1:05And every time a meal gets served,
1:07somebody has to buy the ingredients.
1:08Every time.
1:09Except this is a restaurant that loses money every time it serves food.
1:13And its plan to fix it is to serve more food.
1:16And Let me give you some context.
1:17In 2025, open AI burned over $20 billion in just one year.
1:22They'd be the first to be this bad other than we work.
1:24And even then this is so much worse than that.
1:26Open AI burned $20.9 billion in 2025.
1:29That's the original financials that the FT and I reported.
1:31And the problem with these companies is
1:33their margins are getting worse
1:34and they actually their costs increase linearly with their revenues.
1:37So he's basically saying that costs increase linearly with revenues
1:41where the two lines are going up together
1:42and the gap never really opens up.
1:45for 25 years every investor has been trained to be patient with this
1:50cause they say well they're losing money now, right?
1:52But at scale their margins will get better, right?
1:55Amazon lost money for years.
1:57Except with AI we just keep on waiting.
1:59And the margins are getting worse
2:01cause every new model cost more to run than the last one
2:05and the market is starting to notice it.
2:07There is no proof that they can improve their margins.
2:09No amount of specialist silicon
2:10or supposed Vera Rubens will bring these costs down.
2:13And we're at a point now
2:14where open AI is now potentially pushing their IPO to 2027
2:17because they couldn't get a trillion dollar valuation.
2:19It's clear that people are waking up to the problem of generative AI,
2:22which is there's not really a business there.
2:24All of this, by the way,
2:25is Not just open AI, cause look at who's paying to build all of this.
2:29This is from Oracle's annual report.
2:30Oracle is a particularly scary one
2:32because they are building 7.1 gigawatts of capacity
2:35just for one customer. And they even said in their annual report
2:37that the risk was they might not get paid.
2:39Open AI only loses money,
2:41and I think I estimate it's like $75 billion of revenue annually.
2:44Now all of this, by the way,
2:45is not just open AI, cause look at who's paying to build all of this.
2:59Open AI only loses money, and I think I estimate it's like
3:02seventy five billion dollars of revenue annually.
3:04That they will have to pay for the full Stargate data center project
3:06in annual compute revenue.
3:08Open AI can't afford that.
3:09And if they can't, Larry Ellison can't afford to pay back those bills.
3:11And Oracle stock will be in jeopardy
3:13along with the margin loans that mr.
3:14Ellison holds. It's genuinely dangerous.
3:16So Oracle is building the equivalent of several nuclear power plants
3:20worth of electricity for basically one customer.
3:23A customer that just lost $20 billion.
3:26Here's my favourite one though.
3:27Nvidia sells its chips to a group of smaller cloud companies.
3:32They're called Neo Clouds.
3:33Now those companies borrow billions of dollars to buy Nvidia's chips
3:36and Nvidia rents them back.
3:39I think companies like core even,
3:40especially nebulous and iron and Cypher Mining and all of them.
3:43Terror Wolf as well. They are all very.
3:45They're basically outgrowths and sub their subsidiaries of Nvidia.
3:49Nvidia is now what, according to the information,
3:51going to be paying them to rent back their GPUs
3:53when they install them in the data center?
3:55This is the. This is something that only happens in an industry
3:58without diverse and real demand.
3:59So what he's saying there
4:00is that Nvidia's sales are partially funded by Nvidia.
4:04And that's like a car dealership lending you money to buy a car
4:07and then paying you to borrow the car back for the weekend
4:10and then reporting all of it as demand.
4:12Now look how much profit we're making, right?
4:14Yeah, because you are buying back your own equipment.
4:16There's a name for when an industry starts doing this.
4:19It's called not enough real customers.
4:21So for companies investing trillions in AI like Microsoft, Google,
4:24Amazon, meta,
4:26what is the ROI from all their spending?
4:29They won't tell you. These companies report everything.
4:31Cloud revenue, ad revenue,
4:33YouTube revenue. But AI revenue.
4:50They're not Telling us that Microsoft,
4:52Google, and meta and Amazon are all doing a funny little.
4:54I wanna call it a scam, but it's a.
4:56A trick where.
4:57Because their other businesses are still growing,
4:59but they never disclose their AI revenues.
5:00Everyone conflates that with AI driving their growth.
5:02In reality, their other businesses are growing,
5:04and AI is losing the money across the board.
5:06You'll notice that neither Microsoft or Amazon,
5:09who both share their run rate of AI,
5:11will share the actual AI revenues.
5:12That tells you that these companies are afraid.
5:15Public companies love good news.
5:16If they had good news, why wouldn't they share it?
5:17That's because they've only got bad news here.
5:19Now, as of right now,
5:20the stock market is still patient,
5:21and investors are saying, okay,
5:23give it time. Still.
5:24But all of it really depends on one big Assumption,
5:28which is that if and when the profits do come,
5:32it's going to be the American companies that will make the profits.
5:35Because the world has no other option.
5:37But the third problem with AI is that the world has another option.
5:41That option is called China.
5:42So let me show you what China is really doing.
5:44Remember this chart from the beginning of the

Viral Breakdown

Hook (أول 3 ثوانٍ)

  • ما يحدث حرفياً في السطر الافتتاحي: "Now, the second problem with AI is that even if every company in America trusted these AI companies, the money still does not make sense."
  • نوع نمط الخطاف: ادعاء جريء (bold claim) – يعلن أن المال لا معنى له حتى لو وثقت الشركات بشركات الذكاء الاصطناعي.
  • لماذا يجعلك تتوقف عن التمرير: يبدأ بتحدي افتراض شائع (أن الذكاء الاصطناعي استثمار مربح) ويخلق فجوة معرفية فورية – المشاهد يريد معرفة "لماذا المال لا معنى له؟".

Emotional Rhythm

  • فضول → توتر → صدمة → سخرية → قلق → غضب → دهشة
  • الفضول: يبدأ بادعاء أن نموذج الأعمال مكسور.
  • التوتر: يشرح أن كل سؤال لـ ChatGPT يكلف المال (عكس البرمجيات التقليدية).
  • الصدمة: يكشف أن OpenAI خسرت 20.9 مليار دولار في 2025.
  • السخرية: يشبه الذكاء الاصطناعي بمطعم يخسر المال مع كل وجبة.
  • القلق: يتحدث عن Oracle وNvidia و"القروض الهامشية" و"الانهيار المحتمل".
  • الغضب: يصف "الحيلة" التي تفعلها Microsoft وGoogle بعدم الإفصاح عن إيرادات الذكاء الاصطناعي.
  • الدهشة: يختتم بـ"المشكلة الثالثة" – الصين – لخلق تشويق للمقطع التالي.
  • ذروة المشهد: "Open AI burned $20.9 billion in 2025" – لحظة الصدمة الأكبر.

Keyword Density

  1. "AI" – 20+ مرة. يدفع الخوارزمية (موضوع ساخن).
  2. "money" / "cost" / "revenue" – 15+ مرة. يربط الموضوع بالاقتصاد (جاذب عاطفي).
  3. "loses money" / "burned" – 5 مرات. يخلق إحساساً بالخطر.
  4. "margins" – 4 مرات. كلمة تقنية تزيد المصداقية.
  5. "business model" – 3 مرات. يحدد الإطار الفكري.
  6. "customers" – 4 مرات. يربط الجمهور بالمشكلة (كلنا عملاء).
  7. "scam" / "trick" – 2 مرات. يثير الغضب والفضول.
  8. "China" – 3 مرات. يضيف بُعداً جيوسياسياً (يثير القلق الوطني).

الخوارزمية: "AI" و"revenue" و"costs" ترفع الوصول (موضوع رائج).
الجذب العاطفي: "loses money" و"burned" و"scam" تخلق تفاعلاً عاطفياً (غضب/قلق).

Why It Spreads

  1. يكسر السردية السائدة: معظم المحتوى عن الذكاء الاصطناعي متفائل (إنجازات، توقعات). هذا الفيديو يقلب الطاولة: "الذكاء الاصطناعي ليس مربحاً". هذا التحدي ينتشر بسرعة لأنه نادر.
    • الدليل: "AI is not a software business. It's more like a restaurant. And every time a meal gets served, somebody has to buy the ingredients. Every time."
  2. أرقام صادمة وسهلة التذكر: 20.9 مليار دولار خسارة، 75 مليار دولار إيرادات مطلوبة. الأرقام الكبيرة تجعل الفيديو قابلاً للاقتباس (shareable).
    • الدليل: "Open AI burned $20.9 billion in 2025."
  3. يستهدف جمهورين في آن واحد: المستثمرين (يتحدث عن الأسهم والهوامش) والمستخدمين العاديين (يتحدث عن ChatGPT). هذا يوسع نطاق المشاركة.
    • الدليل: "every single time you ask chat GPT a question... it costs open AI money."
  4. يستخدم "الفضيحة" كأداة انتشار: يتهم الشركات الكبرى (Microsoft, Google, Nvidia) بـ"الحيلة" أو "الخداع". الفضائح تزيد التفاعل (تعليقات، مشاركات).
    • الدليل: "I wanna call it a scam, but it's a trick where... they never disclose their AI revenues."
  5. يخلق تشويقاً للمستقبل: ينهي بـ"المشكلة الثالثة" (الصين) دون حلها، مما يدفع المشاهدين للبحث عن الجزء التالي أو التعليق بفضول.
    • الدليل: "But the third problem with AI is that the world has another option. That option is called China."

What You Can Steal

  1. استخدم "التشبيه المقلوب": شبه الذكاء الاصطناعي بمطعم يخسر المال. هذا يبسط فكرة معقدة ويجعلها لا تُنسى. في فيديو آخر، يمكنك تشبيه أي تقنية جديدة بشيء يومي (مثلاً: "الواقع الافتراضي مثل حذاء رياضي – يبدو رائعاً لكنه يؤلم بعد ساعة").
  2. ابدأ بنفي الافتراض السائد: بدلاً من "الذكاء الاصطناعي رائع"، ابدأ بـ"الذكاء الاصطناعي ليس مربحاً". هذا يخلق فجوة معرفية تجبر المشاهد على الاستمرار. في أي موضوع، ابحث عن الافتراض الشائع واقلبه.
  3. أضف "الفضيحة" كطبقة عاطفية: اتهم الشركات الكبرى بعدم الشفافية (مثل "لن يخبروك عن إيراداتهم الحقيقية"). هذا يثير الغضب والثقة في نفس الوقت، مما يزيد التفاعل. لكن تأكد من أن لديك أدلة (أرقام، تقارير).
