Big companies have an expensive new addiction to AI, and their smack is getting more expensive. Who could have seen this coming? From the WSJ:

"Use of artificial intelligence by big companies is exploding—and the soaring cost has some of them pumping the brakes in a way that could complicate AI’s triumphal march across the economy.
Executives across industries this year have urged employees to integrate AI tools into their work, spending freely to encourage experimentation and seeking to send a message to Wall Street that their companies won’t be left behind in a coming wave of disruption."

"All that enthusiasm has resulted in skyrocketing costs for so-called tokens, the basic unit of measurement for AI computing, as AI model providers seek to balance supply and demand and manage their own costs. Some enterprises have hit their annual budget in just three months or reported seeing their AI spending bills double or triple."
 
"Now corporate leaders are scrambling to bring down expenses by finding ways to ration AI use in their organizations, steer workers toward cheaper, homegrown tools and help them hone their skills to improve returns."

Wow. Great essay! A couple of highlights, but you should go read the whole thing

"So, to recap:

1. The pope issues a warning against turning AI into an idol.

2. Silicon Valley techies scoff at the pope, saying that they’re too busy creating a machine God that rivals the Second Coming."

"it’s hard to look at a pile of linear algebra and call it a god"

“The SpaceX IPO works like a crypto fraud, but with AI – Pivot to AI”

> SpaceX is doing a crypto-style fraud, but on the real stock market. The S-1 filing is the white paper. The IPO, lined up for mid-June, is the rug pull.

The business model of Tinder etc. isn't to find you the love of your life, it's to keep you on their site, making you pay for as long as possible.

The business model of Big AI isn't to solve your problems with the least amount of tokens. It is to keep you close enough to *think* you might soon have the solution while you keep on spending more and more tokens.

Both (and many other services) make their money based on hope, not on results. That's my opinion.
