← AI Money Story

Where the AI money shows up

Every indexed case dropped onto an industry map. Each district is an industry, each bar a sub-industry inside it. Bar length is how many cases sit in that niche. The fill along the bar is how many of them actually put a revenue number on the table.

Read the length as attention, not income. Of indexed cases, only state a monthly revenue figure in the source text. A long bar means many people are building in that niche — it does not mean the niche pays. The longest bar on this page is cases; every bar is drawn against that same scale, so lengths are comparable across districts.

cases carry no industry signal at all and are left off the map. They are mostly Hacker News comments arguing about whether AI can be monetised in general — real cases, no industry to place them in. Guessing one would invent a district that isn't there.
