Soundtrack: Mack Glocky - Chasing Cars Last week, I spent a great deal of time and words framing the generative AI industry as a cynical con where OpenAI's Sam Altman and Anthropic's Dario Amodei have used a compliant media and braindead investors to frame unprofitable, unsustainable, environmentally-damaging and mediocre cloud

As a result, OpenAI has chosen to monetize ChatGPT and its associated products in an all-you-can-eat software subscription model, or otherwise make money by other people productizing it. In both of these scenarios, OpenAI loses money.

How sustainable are these business practices under heavy competition?
