    MS chat bots are practically in every desktop out there. What growth were they expecting?

        I mean… The one thing they can’t expect on step 3 is growth.

        Profit is at least theoretically possible.

        By the way, I’d say step 2.a. is “make its usage mandatory for the system to work”, and 2.b. is “bill for usage”…

          With the insane costs for training and inference, those subscriptions would have to be veeeery very very expensive. One of the more interesting cases was the dev who burned like 15k on a sub of 200? iirc, anthropic claude. And he or she is probably not the only one.
