Now that AI-companies need to get profitable, they suddenly aren't affordable anymore. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They just had to stick it out until the layoffs were done and the dependency was built. Kinda similar to drug dealers.
They aren't going to get anywhere near profitable if the their capital expenditures are added into the mix, amortization or no, they are so far in the hole they probably will have to offload it in some kind of texas two step kind of scheme where they spin off their debts into a subsidiary.
They'll just get bailed out by tax payers. Business as usual.
These companies with no discernible services or usefulness to society are simply too big to fail!
