Amazon was unprofitable for years (like over a decade), famously. I don't see any difference with AI companies.

There is clearly some kind of market for this technology. It will eventually be profitable either through some technology breakthrough that allows creating/processing tokens cheaper or by finding a cost structure consumers can live with.

The cat is already out the bag. This technology isn't going away.

To succeed like Amazon you actually have to have cash-flow in first place. The comparison only works when company can stop investing and immediately make profit. And I do not think any of the AI companies are at that point. Or could continue to run for any length of time if they choose to.
