      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.

        See my response below and keep an open mind.

        Edit: And yes I am serious because this is how business has been done for a long time

      Sometimes you have to spend more than you make but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea! You just have to continue spending and one day it’ll maybe start turning a profit. Maybe not, though! 🙂 I love AI

        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

          Wtf, these folk s are clinically insane. It’d be funny if they weren’t literally fucking over the entire world in the process.

        Neither. It was very nice of frunch@lemmy.world to make an effort and explain my comment in his response. Sometimes things might not be as simple as you think so please keep an open mind. Thank you
