I feel like this is fake company and they are spreading this to cook the books.

But if we are to uncritically believe what the AI peddlers told us, that means this mystery company should be reaping $10 billion in additional revenue or quantifiable gains in productivity!

There are 12 mentions of the "report" and yet not a single link to the source of any report.

In other news, company says unexpected expenses in its technology segment are driving layoffs and site closures. Company CEO said in an interview with Forbes, "There's no way we could have predicted this challenge. In service to our customers and our shareholders we're right sizing our operations and reevaluating our strategic priorities. We'll continue to focus on creating value while being a leader in our industry and accelerating AI adoption in everything we do."

What's funnier is that typically the AI providers lose money on every query their customers make. So, this may have cost some company $500m to Anthropic, but it cost Anthropic a whole lot more than that.

When you owe Claude half a million, you've got a problem.

When you owe Claude half a billion, Anthropic has a problem

Sounds like a good way to move around money real and imagined.

Just to make things clear: API access to most models is charged per input tokens + output tokens. It means that the longer your conversation is, the more you pay for every new answer. Single prompt with no context and 100 tokens of answer is cheap. Single prompt with 100k tokens of context and 100 tokens of answer is NOT cheap.

Extremely long conversations with most expensive top of the line models can absolutely demolish your budget.

I just want to know what are the best things to type into these ai chat boxes that will cost the most. If my company wants me to use this garbage then I want to make it as expensive as possible and when their liscenses need to be repurchased I want it to be as expensive as possible to continue to force this garbage on us

Edit. Hey everyone lots of great replies here, please keep the suggestions, fixes, corrections etc coming!

The more recent report says corporate AI adoption has found several issues with AI, with human workers turning to automating dreary and mundane tasks they don't like doing, rather than valuable or meaningful work.

Thank god we have consulting companies to tell us what humans like!

It's going to be delicious when we find out who it is...

This is the yearly salary of 5,000 well paid employees…

I think a lot of SaaS companies love it when people accidentally overuse their services.

Then lays off half it's workforce to save costs and relies on AI to make up the difference.

Um.. is this Uber?

Why Uber has Already Burned Through its AI Budget

Big companies license Copilot for less than 25 usd/month per seat. Don't tell me it covers the ops cost, even for mixed calc.

Microsoft recently said that they were revoking Claude Code access for employees in favour of GitHub Copilot CLI, wonder if it was them lol

Some company got charged the stupid tax.

How is this news?

Most companies can't eat a half billion dollar loss so who ends up paying this? AI queries burn actual energy so the AI company would have to charge I would think.

Maybe AI will finally negatively impact some CEO jobs.
