Were Xerox, Dec, or Apple burning investor money by the billions of dollars?

Shhh. You are not allowed to ruin OpenAI’s PPU value. Can’t make the E7’s feel bad.

No, but the comment above and variations of it are mentioned in every thread about IBM, so it’s probably just a reflex at this point without much thought behind it.

Xerox is clearly crushing it in 2025... /s

That's completely beyond the point, though? Kodak invented the digital camera, did not think anything about it and others then ate their lunch. Those others are also not crushing it in 2025. The point is IBM is not the go-to to listen about AI. Also not saying they are not right, even a broken clock is right 2 times a day.

Why not, though? For better or worse, they're a consulting services company these days, and they work with an eye-wateringly large number of companies. I would expect them to have a very good view as to what companies use AI for, and plan/want to use AI for in the future. They may not be experts in the tech itself, but I think they're decently well-positioned to read the tea leaves.
