    The companies developing ai don’t need to make a profit just the same as Amazon didn’t. They are in the development phase. Profit is not a big concern.

      You’re being incredibly dense.

      The point is that they need to eventually make a profit that is commensurate to the investments they have put in, and right now there is absolutely no feasible path to them doing so. Any plan for eventual profitability relies entirely on magical thinking.

        Are we going to start with insults? Not surprised.

        There is absolutely no feasible path? I think that’s not a serious statement. There is a feasible path and the progress is noticeable. Better chips, that use less power, optimized models, there are new ideas coming in and being tested so fast it’s hard to follow.

        Profitability will probably happen, might not, but the resources spent will advance practically every field of science.

          I mean how can you seriously expect to not be insulted when you make absolutely stupid grand statements like the final one in your post? Just zero self awareness

            You mean absolutely stupid grand statements like the one that says there is ABSOLUTELY no feasible path.

            Sounds pretty absolute and grand, not to mention disconnected with reality.
