What a brilliant business model.
maybe they are planning ahead for the business model in a few years time, when nobody can do any work without claude, and they get to charge their preferred "monopoly enshittification" price?
Absolutely this is the plan.
They make it up in volume.
(Volume being how loudly they shout about how it's going to change the world and dupe more people into investing.)
Oh, it’s changing the world alright. It’s burning more resources than just finding some skilled people. It guzzles water and electricity and whatever it cost to make those wafers.
So, not a net positive since at some point, this may become a hellscape.
