Sure because there are lots of unprofitable companies that are now profitable, netflix, youtube, uber, spotify, amazon, etcetc
Nearly every AI company in America right now is pretty much an early stage startup at best a few years old, and Americans have shown over and over and over that a good chunk of the time if you have a product people want and an insane amount of users (last I saw AI had over a billion MAU) then they can eventually turn a profit with it
Saying they’re unprofitable also doesn’t determine if they deliver value or not, which they very clearly do
I also forgot, Lemmy is a big money losing machine, does that mean it provides no value?
What definition of value are you using?
Does it matter? It’s unprofitable.
