    I have no love for AI but I feel like the people clowning on this don’t understand the most basic aspects of how businesses work.

    It is very common to take losses early on and return a profit later.

      Gtfo, there is no way llm companies make their money back legitimately and we all know it. No, it’s not “common” for companies to spend tens of billions to build infrastructrure that won’t pay for itself.

      Those of us in reality know they will get bailed out by the government in exchange for fucking us even more than already.

        YouTube would lose a billion annually early on as they expanded infrastructure to keep up with massive demand 🤷‍♀️

        They figured it out eventually, all they had to do was enshittify everything.

          That is entirely different from llm models. People like youtube, it has utility. Llm models don’t have enough utility to pay for their data centers and we all know it. Why are you simping for them? You believe their hype? That discredits you.
