I dunno, isn't this the same scheme that the ride share companies and food delivery services?
With the difference that all those services mostly outsource their asset costs to their drivers or have very little investment there. Unlike anthropic who have billions in costs related to all the compute they need to service their customers (obligations to other companies, datacenters and, not to forget, ever rising interest on all their debt).
Definitely, the cost of doing business for these AI companies is orders of magnitude higher than Uber or Lyft
You mean the ones who had to massively pivot their entire business model, because they were relying on self-driving cars being practical in 2019?
