I wouldn’t put a fancy and stupidly resource-intensive word guessing game on the same level as those other things.

The underlying technology isn’t unprofitable, inference alone isn’t unprofitable. It’s the research and development of better models that’s unprofitable and unsustainable.
That’s pretty much how almost every new development happens. EVs were the same, primarily funded by subsidies and now they’re cost competitive or better in many situations even without them. Cellphone networks… also heavily funded by investors and some took hits from how it all played out. The dotcom bubble. Even as far back as the Railroad boom in the UK.

Maybe you wouldn’t, but I would. You clearly don’t remember how bad the internet was when it first became available to the public.

Do tell, how has it improved since the times that I clearly don’t remember?

Other than not blocking your entire phone line while you were on it, paying for hours per month of connectivity, having content take minutes to load, lacking in useful content, a thousand and one different logins with no safety systems attached, constant viruses, and no safe way to pay for things?
Nah, it was great.

Your emotions don’t override reality.
LLMs are excellent at translation as one significant beneficial use case.

I wish I could believe you, sloppy, but you’re all lying sacks of shit so I can’t trust anything you say.

That makes sense, you’re clearly not smart enough to know a second language so you can test it out.
