alt Hacker NewsI gave the example of Apple and Google for a good reason. Because these big companies are selling products that don't even exist yet. You don't consider that selling prototypes? Fair, they're selling stuff that isn't even a prototype. I'm not sure that's any better.
Or maybe you're making a very different point, which I have entirely missed.

I guess I'm curious what you mean by this, I don't particularly see either of those companies doing this, certainly not in the way this article describes, and not really in any way that's impacted substantially by AI.
What "product that doesn't exist" is Apple selling? Google? Who is paying for it?
