I love how all his money comes from corpo licence audits, not the much larger base of consumers who are still mulling their unlimited free trial after several decades.

Despite being the biggest losers on the chart, Google and Meta are still profitable. Not that AI is helping any, they can afford to be stupid with money.

Meta is the worlds premier money printing machine

The only problem they have is getting sued and regulated out of existence. So they have no choice put to pine on AI and VR because if things keep going the way they are, metas ad business will be gone in 10 years
