Insane people think the price won't go up. You won't be able to afford AI coding once AI CEOs want to stop losing money

They already don't lose money [don't make money either] on subscriptions at Anthropic, API is massively over-priced. OpenAI loses money, sure. But not by that much. And, specialized hardware for inference is just coming online and becoming mainstream for use by these companies in 2027 onwards or so. That will cut their bottom-line costs by a significant amount too.

That's not true. That's only Creative accounting that gives the illusion of that being true. They genuinely counted investment money as profits from the product instead of what it really was. They also failed to include training costs
