@p I was talking with another coworker the other day about aircraft orders and deliveries across the major US airlines and also our direct competition (NetJets [who just ordered like 200 jets]) and he mentioned to me a concept that I never even considered before: if you fill up an order book for a product, in this case, aircraft, then you also cuck your competition out of the ability to also expand or buy that product. So, even if it might cost you a loss to do something like that, it might be a strategic benefit for you---and, you can always offload assets in the future to recoup expenditure in acquisition which prevented your competition from being able to source means of production, basically. I have no idea how this works in the IT world or with AI, but, when you talk about it making no sense for a company to do something---like what Microsoft is doing with AI---there very well could be some ulterior motive or 4D chess kinda strategy being played. @lanodan @hj @mangeurdenuage
