    Not simply operating at a loss, absolutely dumping their prices giving away their products for almost nothing to gain market share. They are burning money at an impressive rate, just for some imaginary payoff in the future.

      The same was true for YouTube, in the beginning they operated at a loss, and when people were hooked on the service, they monetized it.

      So many companies are going to get burnt by it

      I know people replacing basic tools with AI versions that are basically just running the simply tool and pretty printing the output

      They’re only foing it because it’s basically free to run it through AI. That whois but with AI is going to be so expensive when these companies enshittif-AI

      It’s hard to imagine that gaining market share is even meaningful right now. There’s such a profusion of stuff out there. How much does it actually mean if someone is using your product today, I wonder?
