A lot of people know. A lot of insiders have been saying tokens are profitable. Is there a conspiracy theory for everyone to lie? Including OpenAI, Anthropic CEOs, employees, Cursor management, inference providers of Chinese models?

Profitable on what basis? They generate more revenue than the cost of electricity? Does that factor in the cost to service the massive, multi-layer cake of debt that was necessary to even begin to serve inference in the first place - not from a training perspective but from a hardware and facilities perspective?
