uber sure....but how did wework survive? they are a smoldering husk of a failed company looted by its founder

The difference is that they had room to charge more of their customers and pay less to their workers. The AI industry doesn't have both sides to play at this point. Training and inference are getting more expensive and if you take on the high prices now you're just floating yourself further downstream from profitability long term (which does not look viable for any of them currently).

WeWork absolutely did not survive

I don't think Uber was doing $1 trillion in infrastructure spend.

Funny you should mention Uber. What was it their COO said recently about the AI costs?

somehow the invisible hand of the market is also blind af
