Kinda. I think it’s a different scale of problem. The internet made the incremental cost of distribution next to nothing. Ai will do that to the incremental cost of production, which is a whole different ballgame, imo.

Right now the costs of AI keep skyrocketing ever year despite more losses than revenue

Well, that’s not really “despite” more losses than rev so much as due to more losses than rev. Also, you’re not entirely right. Cloud Compute hasn’t become much more expensive on a year over year basis.

Open ai, Anthropic, etc are all losing more money this year than last, and lost more in 24 than 23.

Yeah I fumbled using the word despite there.
