ive seen a ton of billboards of startup AI comp in west coast, i assume every new one that appears on these billboards, the old ones go under.
A lot of startups whose entire business model relies on OpenAI’s small model API calls costing under $1/Mtok, are going to go bust when OpenAI finally runs out of money and ramps the cost up tenfold.

It would be just cheaper to self-host something for the whole company then? Open-source AIs are there and they are very much competitive with proprietary solutions.

If you want OpenAI level response times you might be surprised how expensive self-hosting gets.

good point, it’s all been artificially priced to get users onboard then dedicated.

Yep it’s blitzscaling. Run it at a loss until it’s a necessity, then charge whatever the hell you want. They’re blitzscaling our right to intellectual property and our right to work.

How does it impact your right to work?
