Neither did Amazon for it's first 25 years ;)

Amazon didn't make a profit because they were reinvesting money into starting new lines of business.

Basically there was a choice between taking the money, and growing. They chose growth.

I think you're missing the point of the comment you responded to, lol.

  • Regardless the profit margin as a talking point seems to be bad as AI as a tech might never be reversed whether anthropic failed or succeeded. Indeed it's imperative we subsidize AI companies and tech to make them explore more solutions to scientific problems which has a downstream effect on human flourishing.
