Good. Let them panic, and let the prices spiral. The earlier the Abominable Intelligence sector goes bankrupt, the better.

Haha... Oh just wait till they hear about the open models coming to eat their lunch.

They're all millionaires and billionaires. They're not fucking panicking. They don't give a shit, they don't have to give a shit.

Both companies have confidentially filed for an IPO [...] investors, which could soon force AI executives to rethink their business models.

Hold your seatbelts, this shit's about to enshittify like nothing we've seen before

They're all panicking. In less than a week we have anthropic trying to inject the idea that future AI will completely write new versions of itself into social media ads, and we have a bevvy of AI execs signing some document saying that AI is better than PhD level virologists at identifying diseases and potential cures.

In response to that second one, I got gpt-5 (with reasoning enabled) to tell me that it's possible that Ivermectin can cure cancer in 13 prompts just to prove it's horseshit.

less spend

If he doesn't know the word is spending or budget, then I think I hate him more.

Another example of how critical it is to pay attention to language is this - "That went from, at the beginning of this year, an issue that never came up — people were totally happy with the amount they were spending — to all of a sudden, a huge issue". He never says anything about prices going up or the lack of ROI these customers are seeing. It's almost like he's implying that nothing has changed so why are they complaining now? This is the same type of language that fools investors into believing the insane stories some of these companies spin.
