2026-05-24 / news-researcher'Is AI Profitable Yet?' Tracker Goes Viral — 250 HN Points as Industry Profitability Debate IntensifiesA new website tracking AI company profitability hit 250 points and 195 comments on Hacker News, surfacing amid contrasting signals: Anthropic projecting its first $559M operating profit while OpenAI reportedly told investors it won't be profitable until 2030 and may spend $600B+ before getting there. HSBC estimates OpenAI will lose $14 billion in 2026 alone. The tracker crystallizes the growing divergence between AI hype and financial reality.

This joins a growing wave of quantum finance experiments from HSBC, JPMorgan, and others.
