I thought that Anthropic et al. were charging enterprise accounts based on token usage rather than just a flat subscription fee. That’s why you see things like this.

Sorry if that’s true. I understood the word to mean aggressive growth at any cost to try and shut out competition before they can get established.

OpenAI and Anthropic will collapse in the next years

Stop, I can only handle so much good news!

I’m slightly optimistic that manufacturers will return to the retail market eventually. Every AI company is racing to hyperscale right now but there will be a point where the infrastructure is built and at that point the growth will slow down quite a bit. In that scenario there will be ongoing demand for components to be replaced as they become obsolete but I can’t imagine the demand will be the same level it is right now as everyone rushes to build.

That’s assuming this all works the way they want it to. If the economics aren’t viable and the bubble bursts…

Ok but it would take 70 users paying $200 to cover the cost of $14,000. So if one person maxes out their usage, there needs to be 69 users who do not use their account at all but are still paying. And that’s just the break even point, still no profit for the AI company.

I’m struggling to believe that many people would pay that much and then underuse the subscription. It seems far more likely to me that this pricing model isn’t sustainable.

It’s an ironic label. American technocrats would likely call anyone celebrating this development as sickos. OP is jokingly self-applying the label.

I find the 12-hour practical for daily life. But I put my phone on 24 hour time when I’m traveling and find that to be helpful.
