  It’s unlikely any of this will ever be profitable, the only one making profit from this right now is NVIDIA. Everyone else’s costs dwarf revenue, even just operational costs, not even counting capital expenditure to set this stuff up. None of these companies have a path to profitability, and most of the little revenue is coming from services built upon other services that can afford to loose money due to investors.

  At best the deregulation makes things less unprofitable and drags the bubble out a little longer.

    thats why they are trying to cram AI into whatever services they have, google on pixels, micrsoft on its various services,etc, i think they are just trying to stem bleeding by cramming it in to everything they can.

      Which is an absurd thing to do! Getting it in front of more people just increases their costs by creating more load on their data centers. At best it juices investor confidence by pushing up user numbers. It’s not converting people to payed subscriptions at any significant rate, and even then people paying the subscriptions are losing them money because they’re creating way more load than their subscriptions pay for.
