Indeed it can. The difference between a business model and a viable business model is one word - viable.

If you asked me 18 years ago was "giving away a video game and selling cosmetics" a viable business model I would have laughed at you.If you asked me in 2019 I would probably give you money. If you asked me in 2025, I'd probably laugh at you again.

Or you figure out a way to to sell it to your neighbour for $0.50 and he can sell it on for $1.

The play is clear at every level - Nvidia Sell GPUs, OpenAI sell models, and SAAS sell prompts + UI's. Whether or not any of them are viable remains to be seen. Personally, I wouldn't take the bet.
