it'd be fun to watch if I could isolate myself from the chaos that will ensue, but we're all gonna get fucked by the aibros, it's only a question of which segment of the economy blows up first.
A lot of startups whose entire business model relies on OpenAI's small model API calls costing under $1/Mtok, are going to go bust when OpenAI finally runs out of money and ramps the cost up tenfold.
good point, it's all been artificially priced to get users onboard then dedicated.
Yep it's blitzscaling. Run it at a loss until it's a necessity, then charge whatever the hell you want. They're blitzscaling our right to intellectual property and our right to work.
