Yup. Cost for copilot at my work just went up and the tone changed from, “Use it everywhere!” to, “Use it where it makes sense.” I mean, that should’ve always been the guidance but as usual the vendors gave them a good show with their shiny new tech, execs came in their pants, and the engineers were expected to make magic happen.
Maybe one day those who don’t rely on AI would be seen as more valuable since you know, they don’t need an expensive tool and produce the same output, probably even better since it’s slop free.
Then I realize that our society has made me value people in some shape or form by their ability to produce stuff, and that’s the real tragedy here
The article gives no specific timeline, but given the amount of Ed Zitron peacocking lately I can’t imagine later than the end of the year. My uneducated guess.
Summary: bubble gonna burst, when not if
Why: it’s a fucking scam propped up by venture capital
How: as soon as companies start getting charged the actual token cost they drop their subscription and for some reason investors don’t like this

This gives me so much hope.

But the next hype is just around the corner. But this time it’s for realsies, promise!
Good to hear.
Any more on the “when”?
Would like to see it pop already.

With openAI, anthropic, and spaceX all going to IPO within ~6 months of each other, it’s absolutely going to be this year.
