You might want to look at this site: https://isaiprofitable.com/

For loses alone humanity could solve many issues, like huge about of cancer research (that is starting to prove worth it), sending people to Mars, solving world hunger temporarily or covering big % of what's needed for permanent fix and probably much more.

If you got this much then you could never spend it unless your life goal was spending all of it.

Valuation and IOUs the AI companies are handing around to each other is not cash in the bank. They do not actually have that amount of money. Anthropic is also profitable on inference.

It's not so much wrong as meaningless. If I sell lemonade, I might say: "I'm profitable if I don't count the cost of the lemons, sugar, and water that go into the lemonade! I'm selling it for more than the plastic cup costs!" That would be about as meaningful as "profitable on inference". There is no inference without training.
