    Nobody is. Every major AI company is losing money.

    Anyone interested in this should checkout the newsletter and / or podcast of Ed Zitron.

      What’s the podcast called? ‘Zitron’ didn’t bring anything up on the Podcast Republic app.

          I think the underlying message is making/serving AI isn’t a mythical goldmine: it’s becoming a dirt cheap commodity, and a tool for companies to use.

          Hence American GPUs aren’t going exactly the unobtanium the markets are hyping them to be, especially with the Huawei NPUs apparenty being viable alternates.

          You don’t demand a source for the claim that AI companies are losing money. Why should I waste my time going through quarterly statements when the original commenter doesn’t seem to care to?

            Yes, the original person give a (admittly, secondary) source, in the form of ed zitron’s blog, I have already read it, so I know it’s not bs.

            If you don’t know, why make the claim

        One of the reasons I recommend Zitron is because he links all his sources in his show notes (well, links sources in a doc linked in his show notes).
