I think you, and many LLM fans, have a grossly distorted view of per unit SaaS costs vs per unit current LLM costs. Google Searches, once the infra setup was finished, were ridiculously cheap. Not the case for OpenAI & co. Inflation adjusted, launching most of Google's core services (Search, Gmail, Maps, etc) cost less than launching ChatGPT 5. Running them at similar scales is also much cheaper per user. There is a point at which it's just too much. Oh, Google and Amazon never had these kinds of humongous losses and they reached profitability much sooner.
