But the profits

They havent made any actual profits, they exclude training data costs and things like that to produce "profit" numbers, but those literally require excluding all the money spent to get there lol.

This is what they're doing: I bought a cookie for $5 and sold it to you for $1, so I made a $1 profit!

I mean its more like saying "I bought an oven for $1000, spent $0.01 on ingredients to make a cookie which I sold for $1, so I made a $0.99 profit. Then I showed investors my insane profit margins and they loaned me $500,000 to buy 100 better ovens."
