You’re saying I can help destroy Facebook by using it?

Techbros didn't even invent that shit.

That and "disruption" was just going into an existing market, flooding it quickly with cheap prices, and the second you squeeze out competition jack up rates.

It's the same thing Walmart did.

With AI they offer it cheaper than humans because they're burning investor cash and not making money. Once a company fires staff, their next AI contract switches to per token price instead of monthly unlimited.

And then suddenly realizing the "rockstars" that kept their job because they were AI experts, were just sitting at their laptop 8 hours straight constantly prompting over and over again. After that they're paying more than they were before AI with a shittier product and completely unpredictable workflow completely reliant on AI usage.

Hopefully we're reaching the point even c-suite execs figure it out. Once they do it'll pop.

And by all indications LLMs will never be there - its speed of progression towards that has already pretty much ground to halt.

Mind you, you're totally right that they will replace everyone if they can (i.e. if they get their hands on actual AGI), it's just that this tech direction is a dead end and won't get there.
