You have to spend money to make money :)

    You are not actually considering the scale of 20 billion dollars nor the jump in a single year. Those are bad things.

    The actual economics behind LLMs shows us they cannot become profitable ever, and this "invest more before becoming profitable" story does not fit in part because of that. Other companies who used that model had a way to become profitable.

    Are you being facetious or are you just dumb?

    They're being facetious but it's actually what AI investors are thinking. AI can lose money until it's the only AI company left then they can charge whatever they want.

    I had an AI engineer tell me that hallucinations are actually AI having original thoughts. Zzzzz
