"this is how things are supposed to work." No - the information from ML boils down to falsehoods - this is not how 'capitalism' should work :) Granted, it does sometimes happen this way. More limited investment, with reasonable hype, a longer time frame might have worked better - as a lot of the $$$ spent on ML today will be on marketing, overhead, unecessary staff. Granted, even if they do go bust, they'll have made some tangible progress that will be leveraged elsewhere. Google is a big investor - it could be that if ML goes bust, the Google can take hold of the IP, and probably end up hiring a bunch of people and carrying it on. That said, since Alphabet they operate differently.
