Anthropic loses $3 billion or more after revenue in 2025
OpenAI is on track to lose more than $10 billion.
xAI, makers of “Grok, the racist LLM,” losing it over $1 billion a month.
I don’t know that generative infill justifies these losses.

Again, I point you to “implicit costs”. Something this trivial isn’t good if it’s this expensive.
