The money needed to run AI company is huge. If they don't do financial trickery, there is huge risk of going out of business.

AI is not making enough money to cover the cost and it will take a decade or so to cover the same.

I am highly skeptical that we will see AI pay for itself by the end of the decade.

More likely Americans’ tax dollars will be shoveled into the hole.

Then it isn't a viable business. Find another path that doesn't risk crashing the economy.
