| I assume the reference was AI use cases are not profitable. Those companies are subsidizing and OpenAI/grok are burning money. |

They are probably hedging on taking a big slice of Google's advertising monopoly-pie (which is why Google is also now all-in on forcing Gemini opt-out on every product they own, they can see the writing on the wall). | |

| Aren't all Microsoft products OpenAI based? OpenAI has always been burning money. |

| Do you think it's odd you only listed companies with already existing revenue streams and not companies that started with and only have generative algos as their product? |

| How many business units have Google and Microsoft shut down or ceased investment for being unprofitable? I hear Meta is having massive VR division layoffs…who could have predicted? Raw popularity does not guarantee sustainability. See: Vine, WeWork, MoviePass. |
