How does taking a microeconomics class prove that Anthropic is subsidizing the costs?

Subsidies cause excess demand that can't be met with supply, leading to shortages. Whatever financial wizardry Anthropic is doing to give themselves an apparent operating cost that is orders of magnitude lower than any ML/AI application I've ever seen, is a different question.

Edit: And Anthropic was never a specific point of discussion until you brought it up.
