Ed Zitron writes about this constantly: https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-case-against-generative-ai/

All of the big players - Nvidia, OpenAI, Oracle, Microsoft - are in insane circular financing agreements that would make Enron executives blush.

Wow this is quite a rant.

However Zitron seems to have forgotten that Google exists or makes TPUs. He mentions Google only 10 times in the entire article, always in a minor way.

Any reason to believe Google's unit economics on AI are any different than the other players here?

And Google is an advertising company. Mostly in search, and increasingly dependent on YouTube. Everything else is a net money loser, including Waymo, Gemini etc.
