Why do you believe it has to? Uber took 15 years to show a profit. 15 years from 2022 when chatgpt launched is 2037. That's long enough that to say I don't know if I'll even be alive by then.
Homelab and hobby assistant. I have spent $300 for 12 months of tokens. If I'm burning up more than $25 a month then I'd have to pay more or curb use at the end of the year. $25 / month as a new expense is something I can accept for a toy that is letting me accelerate my fun stuff. I can't justify more than that. So I'm left constantly evaluating if my current task is worth more than future tasks and if it is expected to be harder than future tasks. Speculative execution is already one of the harder things I do at work.
What did you say? Cant hear you over the $400B in capex spend.
Counterpoint: price will matter before we hit AGI

Uber didnt burn the market cap of the 10th largest company in the world every couple of years.
It matters to me. I pay for it and I like using it. I pick my models to keep my spend reigned in.
What do you use it for? What is your time worth that you'd settle for a lesser model to save a few bucks?
