Remember the early days of Uber and Lyft, when rides were dirt cheap because the companies were operating at a loss in order to capture the minds/wallets of the masses?

The rug pull in the AI/LLM world when the companies adjust pricing to actually make a profit is going to be spectacular. Especially when you consider the numbers of people / orgs that are addicted to or dependent on such technology.

@wdormann what if it took 5 or 10 years maybe until there were cost-reflective pricing for llms?

@wtfrank probably not doable considering they're burning not hundreds of millions but hundreds of *billions* now.

We're already seeing record unexpected spending levels, see the recent piece about Uber popping their entire R&D budget on tokens.
