      Globally we spend about $1 trillion on consumer electronics per year. And that’s spending not profit. AI would need to somehow allow them to sell every phone, laptop, refrigerator, all for 6x more - and without increasing the production cost.

      It’s 18 times what the entire weapons manufacturers profit is yearly. If you’re conservative (so if you lie or low ball on purpose) the US defense budget is a trillion each year (it’s more) then that’s 6 times the entire yearly defense spending budget.
