What do you mean by either? Walmart and Amazon make tens of billions in profit a year if not a quarter.

i thought we were talking about OpenAI, antrhropic, etc, not Walmart?

Did you read the title? It says to spend Walmart and Amazon's money on AI. And you said "those companies aren't profitable either" which would mean, using normal rules of English grammar, that "Walmart and Amazon aren't profitable and OpenAI and Anthropic aren't profitable either". So what are you talking about? What does "either" mean?
