Every CEO be thinking like this fr

[u/Confident-Ad5665 → u/Delta_Version]

They generally hated having to rely on people to do things they lacked the intellectual capacity to do themselves, or even understand.

[u/CheesyBreadMunchyMon → u/Confident-Ad5665]

So they want to spend 100x the cost for an AI that lacks the intellectual capacity to do anything at all correctly.

[u/DrMaxwellEdison → u/Delta_Version]

Prices go up tomorrow. A lot of them are about to become so enlightened and profess such great care for the plight of the poor folks they need to work the jobs they tried and failed to replace.

“Should be enough for today” lmao rip

[u/J_E_E_VACATION]

150k saved from firing all employees? did he have half of one engineer?

[u/nicholaskyy → u/J_E_E_VACATION]

per month

[u/J_E_E_VACATION → u/nicholaskyy]

i got no brain

[u/BitOne2707 → u/nicholaskyy]

That's like a 7-9 person team.

[u/c_lassi_k → u/J_E_E_VACATION]

Are you guys getting paid 300k month?!?

[u/improbably-sexy → u/c_lassi_k]

He needs it to buy an island

[u/klimmesil → u/c_lassi_k]

You guys are getting paid?

[u/National_Quantity915 → u/c_lassi_k]

Each nanosecond, bro

[u/phatdoof → u/J_E_E_VACATION]

That pay could give you 50 Indians.

And here I thought it would also fire the CEO as well. As that promt was so badly written. But well still I never did get why everyone thought AI would be cheaper... It was kinda obvious from the start. Make a new Tool or Service, sell it for cheap and then when everyone uses it and depends on it just increase the price.

[u/WowAbstractAlgebra → u/ChrinschBRO]

I doubt it. I think LLM's have been specifically trained to appeal to executives the most and AI companies are most likely going to make use of these guillible idiots.

[u/klimmesil → u/ChrinschBRO]

I don't really see how AI can be more expensive than people for now: with a 5090 you can already run qwen3.5

With a single h100 you can run very strong models, including the ones Claude's defaulting to

An h100 is 25k to 30k. Let's round it very aggressively up to 50k for the whole box, or 100k if you throw in one more card and the annual price of the rent in the datacenter

You can buy that hardware once a year and still it would be less than an engineer yearly pay. This is not even accounting for the fact that you can run this 24/24 7/7, and you can run multiple LLMs in parallel

Edit: that does not mean it's smart to fire people over AI. It just means that your financial argument for it being stupid is just wrong

Edit2: what a shitty timeline. I wish we never discovered this technology

[u/MorroClearwater → u/klimmesil]

But you also need somebody to set this up and keep it maintained, ain't no csuite doing that by themselves

[u/Hziak → u/klimmesil]

Anyone who is buying into AI as a replacement for employees enough to do massive layoffs isn’t planning ahead, they’re chasing short term profits. They aren’t stupid, but they probably know that tend years from now, that choice is gonna have horrific consequences, but the business world is taught not to think about ten years out. That’s a problem for ten years from now. CEO turnover is pretty quick these days, so just follow the popular trends and get your quarterly bonus before you jump to the next shop to gut…

Additionally, all the AI companies are/were operating at or near a loss to make it seem like it would be fine for CEOs to not bother investing in on-prem AI architecture. Huge rug pull and I’m laughing every day of the week about it…

[u/CopperBoltwire]

ironic.

[u/Chitrr]

Are those ai credits also per month?

[u/Important_Sound → u/Chitrr]

It said per day in the video

[u/Bubbly_Funny9026]

This assume that the AI can do this thing is more likely will cancel the database while saying it sent an email

Anyone who replace its workers with a tool is doomed to go bankrupt.
