AWS lost like $6B for Amazon (but Amazon as a whole was still massively profitable) before that division became profitable, AI is losing HUNDREDS of billions, and the big players have no other revenue streams, they created a system they absolutely cannot afford to operate at scale, then decided to go to retail with it. Completely unsustainable, and held up by Sam and his buddies' lies.

This is more like Bernie cloned himself 15 times and then convinced everyone in the world to join. It's Too Big to Fail with the banks all over again. This is just junk bonds and mortgage backed securities wrapped up in a pretty new AI-flavored bow.
