then you are misunderstaing the downvoting. it's not that the fact that they are burning money. it's the fact that this cost today 20k but that is not the real cost if you factor the it is losing money on this price.

So Tomorrow when this "startup" will need to come out of their money burning phase, like every startup has that cost will increase, because there is no other monetising avenue, at least not for anthropic that "wilL never use ads".

at 20k this "might" be a reasonable cost for "the project", at 200k it might not.
