  Apple also borrowed money - pre AI when it had plenty of cash, have you checked Google’s last year earnings and cash on hand?

    > all except Amazon are spending money out of their own revenues. so apple and google and amazon and…? :) earnings and cash on hand are not relevant, they are all borrowing like crazy to fund the ai

      Apple was borrowing like crazy before AI. How much money do you think Apple is spending on AI aside from the $1 billion they are paying for Gemini? That’s less than 1% of their profit and hell that’s less than 5% of what Google pays them.

        I didn’t think we debating whether or not they are spending but whether they are borrowing (you said only amazon is) - and they are borrowing, not just amazon

          I’m saying only Amazon is borrowing because it doesn’t have the cashflow to fund its expenditures. Apple wasn’t borrowing to spend money in 2018…
