If there's no monetization, the industry will just collapse. Not a good thing to aspire to. I hope they make money whilst doing these improvements.

Ads have a very high profit margin. Ultimately we all get to cool shit because some consumer somehwere is buying something. Depending on whether you work in B2B or consumer software you are just a step closer or farther from the consumer. But ultimately its people who dont write code who decide the fate of the software industry.

I don't get it.
"AI is the new electricity", right? Disruptive. A new era.
The lightbulb company should be so disruptive that it completely occludes the huge profits of the old and obsolete candle business.
If your electricity company starts selling candles, something is wrong at a very deep conceptual level.
If people pay for inference, that's revenue. Ads and stuff is plan B for inference being too cheap, or the value being too low.
