How can this be relevant? Why isn't the compute we have available right now sufficient for turning a profit?

Is this another one of those "We lose money on each sale but make it up in volume" things?

I mean, if much much larger investments are needed before current LLM providers can turn a profit, that's not a good indicator that they have any sort of sustainable business, is it?

Profit is not the goal in large transformational tech cycles.

See Bezos' playbook for Amazon. They weren't profitable for years.
