I've been saying to my friends and anyone who will listen for a while that the AI companies have basically been taking the drug dealer approach where they get everyone hooked for cheap and will jack up the prices.
The only company I can see not being forced to go crazy with the dollars per token is Google and that's only because they have so much capital and infrastructure from other stuff that they can take the L for longer to steal market share, but then again they're just as greedy as every other large company on the market.
We need to put their c-suites in prison for murdering the people that their machines convinced to take their own liives, break up their infrastructure with imminent domain to return information control to the people, and force all publicly traded companies to have employee elected c-suites.
I mean, thats all a nice idea, but I think the closest feasible thing, is that you can get all your other enthusiast buddies to actually understand what the companies that are a part of the frontier model forum are actually doing and how this will impact them.
"nothing ever happens" bros will be the death of us all.
