    Sigh. None of this is surprising in the least. The cost of AI infrastructure and compute (coupled with the complexity of the chain) makes it prohibitively expensive.

    It only has appeared cheap because of investor money flowing like Niagara on the off-chance that it could be made cheap enough to be profitable after getting everyone addicted to using it. I really don’t think it’s there, and it’s definitely not cheap enough to continue flying for free much longer.

      There will be some major bag holders soon. Who’s is gonna be? The funnelers or the funnelees? How does MS bounce back having integrated copilot into everything?

        Given the recent NASDAQ changes, looks like US pension funds will end up with the bag. What a scam.

        Microslop can suck it.

          So a massive wealth transfer - right after Covid, ANOTHER unprecedented wealth transfer.

          Side question: when are you people in the imperial core going to do something about this with all that God given Liberty™ and Freedom® you continually bomb and destabilize the rest of us for?

          As in the 2008 saying: “All that money has not really disappeared. It is just in the pockets of different people”.
