As usual, there’s no factual basis for the claims other than “I made it up” and author doesn’t seem to have technical experience with ML experience. A lot of weasel words doing all the heavy lifting here.

I'm sorry, were you speaking about this topic post or about posts authored by Sam/Amodei and the like?
Can you clarify what you are saying here?
Well, since all LLM companies are very secretive about their finances, the only public information from them about their revenues or profits or liabilities are as the top commenter said are without any "factual basis for the claims other than “I made it up”" and their CEOs are seemingly not very well versed in ML judging by their public statements and usually use a lot of weasel words themselves. So my comment was a joke, that it is rather hard to distinguish who is making stuff up - LLM corporations defenders or critics :) .
The data is given and not made up. The data based on actual use and on analysis of public numbers.
And yet the crazy thing is that this stuff is par for the course human-wise and yet HN continues to rise up with pitchforks in hand complaining that ai is going to replace whatever this is. Like we're losing something.
