    I’m mostly pissed that when the bubble pops, the rich will still be rich. People will suffer, but not the people who deserve to suffer.

      Well, that’s on you for not creating a company based on the inflated ego trips of pompous sociopaths. Do better.

        We need to talk to our representatives and make it explicitly clear that any form of bailout will result in their removal.

        Investors tend to be rich, they’ll manage. Who ends up suffering is people who recently bought a home and are knee deep in debt once the economy tanks and everything goes to shit. If they can’t service their loans and they live in a country that doesn’t give a fuck they’ll be thrown on the street, and suddenly you have a homelessness crisis where the only thing people did wrong was to attempt to have a life. Meanwhile the people behind the AI bubble will just install taller fences around their private islands and face no worse consequences than that of being even more hated than they already are.

    Most people, when offered help, refuse it. Most people, when needing help, cannot ask for it. AI does not fit into this mindset at all. Does anyone study human behaviour anymore (other than purchase trends)? I’m tired of all these new widgets being forced upon us and I’m tired of trumps billionaire media owners telling us that they are good for you. Give me a slate and abacus over this dystopic bullshit any day.

    A.I will NOT work properly till it is paid a living wage.

    Upper management can’t even see the problem.

    Really? But OpenAI changed the number of images ChatGPT can generate in a day from five to ONE in an attempt to get more people to subscribe/pay. You’re telling me that didn’t work? Colour me shocked! (People I work with use it and were bitching about it around the office this week.)

    I think it’ll push people the other way: off the platform, or to a competitor. Most people don’t want to pay for AI. We’re already paying higher costs for computer hardware, we shouldn’t have to pay for AI, too.

      Competitor will give their services as a loss lead and suffer the same fate as OpenAI where they will need to raise the prices or limit the number of prompts.

      No AI company has put the true cost of AI prompts. AI companies hope that as many corporations as possible will fully integrate their processes with AI, locking them into their ecosystem and milk them dry.

    Is this the first domino? Or is this just economic edging?
