    Crazy, I thought they’d wait until the IPO before they start going to the “bleed the users like penned cattle” phase of enshittification. They must need money sooner than they thought.

      My uneducated guess : they are bleeding money and need to show that it is slowly stopping and the trend is reversing.

      Once that is done, pipe the IPO and make bank before it crashes and burn.

      They are speedrunning capitalism.

      Next is to pass the corpses of the major IP holding companies around and sue each other and everyone for patents until nobody can afford lawyers anymore.

      That’s how close we are before the bubble bursts. Plus they can never go public because they’d have to publish their numbers. A minus followed by several commas will definitely burst that bubble.

        One can only hope, I can’t wait to see it all burn. All those shitty AI companies can go to hell as far as I’m concerned, they add no value to my life whatsoever.
