Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

You know the funny thing? They're all competing hardcore right now selling below cost so they can become monopolies, the more they get used the more data so the better their product becomes, so the prices they're spending are lower than they should be.
Literally ai investors are eating the cost of people using a shit ton of AI for dumb questions or being lazy and letting ai do stuff like summarize cooking recipes that users could just read on their own.
It's cheaper now than it'll ever be, and whatever comes back after bubble bursting will be more expensive likely, something where you don't want to spend that much to code a feature that you can just figure out on your own.
I hope so. But I have a feeling the local LLMs will just pick up the slack, running on hardware from liquidated "ai data centres"
