Because it isn't true. Most companies that do what you're describing stop making a profit. Especially consulting companies, the ones that were the first to actually go 100% AI. To do what you're describing, as in only AI matters and only what the AI says is what goes. Companies like MIcrosoft are actually only gradually shifting over to AI in comparison, and so far as they've transitioned the profits for them are terrible.

Investment isn't profit, btw, but you knew that already, since you're a bot trying to defend investment.

Amazon immediately started with a clear path to profitability. They didn't go "hurr durr we'll figure out later".

>>110098810
I think there's a point to be made as to how the massive disparity between the compute required to produce a model and that required to run it means that producing AI models is inherently unprofitable. Since the technology keeps becoming more efficient over time, we are starting to reach the point of diminishing returns where many local models are "good enough" for most non-technical use cases and efficacy is becoming more reliant on the capability of the harness rather than the model itself.

There's also the issue that models are becoming more capable at writing solid code which makes selling harnesses also not a good venture. I think in the end, most of the money will be made in selling hosting for models, and the winners are going to be companies that host models but don't waste money in developing new ones.

>>110099285
lmao, no. You're trying to equate margins to "obvious profitability."

You're right in that AWS is a giant money bag, but you're wrong in contradiction to the guy you're replying to. Amazon is Wal Mart, which is to say that profit margins are low but also guaranteed. There's no way with Amazon's business model that they won't make consistent money through sales of product. The reason for investing early on was to get a large chuck of that retail pie that Amazon absorbed with consistent profitability.

Small margins are fine if they are guaranteed.

So why didn't humans solve Navier Stokes in over 90 years then? If the answer was always there that would imply:

Either option only justifies letting AI handle maths from now on.

Exactly. I don't know why so many people are so concerned about ai companies profitability. Assume they all fail: software engineering is still dead, tech work is still dead, mass layoffs due to ai are still coming, computer skills are still deprecated etc. AI models aren't going anywhere, even if the jewish companies fail (they won't btw, but let's assume it for the sake of argument), since these models are literally just files.
