It can't even afford to provide the service that people pay for. The losers who pay for and use the highest level subscription use it at a rate that costs these companies more than the fees they charge. The industry is funded by pure hype from rich idiots

The kind of business who's real business is convincing investors the ostensible business is sound.

Yup, this right here... The business isn't the "AI" it's convincing investors to continue throwing good money after bad in order to prop up the Tech Bro's already ridiculous "worth" on paper.

An unsustainable one which is based on fucking pipe dreams and hype. Refer: pretty much everything a Tech Bro has ever done.

Lots, unfortunately. Fisheries, oil & gas. Pretty much all extractive industries.

Yes. Shameless, brutal extraction of resources. Way of the Western world for ages.

If they make him look bad he has a large retribution toolkit so as long as they play along he plays nicer.

Unless you have severe reputational damaging stuff to blackmail him with like Ghislane or Putin does, he will use anything he wants to wreck you.
