    Who did not know this already?

    The real issue is that nobody seems to care… I mean, the biggest IPO in history just took place, valuing SpaceX (which was in reality a tiny bit of SpaceX, entirely composed of Grok) at almost 2 TRILLION dollars after they showed a 5 BILLION loss in the last quarter

    Reality is for suckers I guess

      IKR? Was it supposed to be a secret? The game plan is to bleed out the competition, make businesses dependent on AI, and then raise prices sky high.

      It’s not news that they are losing money, but it is news that they are losing tremendously more money than they were previously losing.

        It does weaken the argument that scaling up is the path to profitablity, but of course they’ll just claim more money and scaling is the way to go. If the market remains manic they can get away with it.
