    Sure, professionals make bad decisions. Usually they’re more complex than they seem on the surface, but there are exceptions. Sure, you can put the work in to out-knowledge them. Doubt anyone here is interested enough to do that, but the internet is a big place.

    Regardless, it should be fairly obvious that giving a company you hate money will not cause them to fail faster. We can quibble over the exact mechanism, but the overall point stands.

      Regardless, it should be fairly obvious that giving a company you hate money will not cause them to fail faster.

      I’ll concede that trying to soak Altman for $14k/mo when he’s already hemorrhaging billions is a bit like pissing in the river.

      I might ask what you plan to do with the $14k in tokens you’re burning. If you’ve got a material use case for them, and Altman wants to sell you $20 for a nickel, go wild.

      But half the joke of AI is that you’re burning tokens to do nothing. That’s why businesses recoil as soon as they’re asked to justify at-cost AI spend.
