The author argues that AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are burning through billions of dollars and have no clear path to sustainability, with their costs increasing linearly with revenues. To recover their investments, these companies would need to make or raise over $1.25 trillion in the next four years, which is highly unlikely given their current financial situation.
