Does this mean the ai companies will start charging more? I only just started figuring this AI thing out.

They're all bleeding money so yes it's inevitable.

It's always the same thing, uber, food delivery, escooter, &c. they bait you with cheap trials and stay cheap until the investors money run out, and once you're reliant on them they jack up the prices as high as they can.

Someone needs to finance absurd operational costs if the services are supposed to stick around.

May the enshittification begin.

  • they are just following the thiel playbook: race to monopoly position as fast as possible, then extract profits afterwards (which inevitably leads to the inevitable shitnization)
