I wish business “journalists” would stop calling these 10 year old companies “startups”.
It’s like calling that 10-12 year old kid who was still breastfeeding on Game of Thrones “my baby”.
They did this with Uber, AirBnb, & Spotify as well.

Building a company on the assumption some technological miracle will fall into your lap might not be the best business plan. Ignoring reality is pretty common in those circles too. Or maybe that's just living in a different reality from say the bottom 99% of the wealth curve.

Breaking even would be a huge improvement for them. They can only dream of zeros.
They built a solution in search of a problem, which isn't uncommon.
But, the AI can't solve anything without climbing over the guardrails and hallucinating. Turns out the only thing it's good for is art, music, and writing, but only if you accept that it's not very good at any of those, either.
I think the LLM method is a dead end. I think they've all figured that out, and now they're panicking because they've gone neck-deep into debt to fund this virtually useless tech. I hope the entire thing goes tits up this year, and used GPUs flood the market.

Usually I don't judge an organization by their profits, since it isn't very indicative of its products' and/or services' value.
But yeah, in this case it makes sense and is absolutely hilarious.
“We made ten digit profits! Zero is a digit.”

And how much does this ass gets paid again?
I hope it all fucking fails.
They will get the revenue when scalping all their GPUs and nVidiaPUs... and RAM and PSUs ...
People were making the same jokes about Spotify and Uber for 10 years, good to see nobody learned
