LLM access is relatively cheap now because the LLM vendors are discounting their price at a massive loss, subsidized by VC, in order to get you addicted and to drive as much skilled human labor as possible out of the workforce permanently.

The goal is monopolization, and if they’re successful, you’ll see monopolistic pricing in the future.

@lapcatsoftware Never forget the immense price we all pay for the destruction of climate and drinking water! If we use them or not, the data centers destroy our environment.
@NatureMC @lapcatsoftware Yes. The data centers are accelerants. The billionaires and fossil fuel industry are racing to raise the temperature. They are inconsiderate. #noai, #nowaterfordatacenters
