I love how corpos can just change the rules at will.

Edit: New prices:

And if you look at the old pricing structure, some of the models are increasing by 27x

I mean, if AI gets too expensive, companies can always hire juniors to replace them 🤣

    When the junior devs get too expensive they can outsource all of their software development to Bangladesh

    When offshore-sourced code gets too shitty they can hire some senior engineers to rebuild it in a way that's compatible with the rest of their ecosystem.

    Which brings the model back to AI. All businesses have accomplished was basically add an extra step in actually forcing themselves to pay for what they actually need every so often. Instead of Sr>jr>offshore>sr. they now just added in AI to the loop.

    Not that charlatans care, as long as they get theirs in the interim.
