They're selling a commodity product in a Red Queen's Race. OpenAI, Anthropic, and whatever others get spun up while the gold rush is on are each building costly models at a vast cost to try to get a bit ahead of each other. The economics of this are ugly. The business of building massive LLMs looks more like air transport than the dot com gold rush in the '90s. There will probably be much useful stuff in the wreckage when it's all over, but I've not seen much to inspire confidence that the useful stuff will include profitable companies. This looks like it has all the makings of another WeWork, only this time with an epochal AI winter as the aftermath.
