I'm not foolish enough to say that AI is not economically viable. But these two companies specifically, OpenAI and Anthropic, just seem totally screwed. They're making great revenue, but their expenditure is unbelievably irresponsible (actually, their behaviour across the board is irresponsible). Training, testing, and marketing should not be this expensive.
I'm looking forward to the new wave of companies that will likely pick up after them, and engage in much more responsible business practices. These two have got to go.

A lot of the costs are going to compute aka GPUs aka Nvidia. Guess who is funding AI startups so they can buy more GPUs.
