My dev friend just sent me a video about the end of uncapped usage... LoL told me they can't really code anymore manually. 🤦

The quarterly budget? https://www.wheresyoured.at/ai-doesnt-have-roi/

Basically, AI should cost at least $1 for every time you hit 'submit'. AI companies have been spending billions and possibly trillions of dollars specifically subsidizing >90% of this cost, and outright hiding the concept that AI even has a marginal cost, by offering a flat-rate subscription ($30/month makes no sense when the same user could ask either 1 prompt or 10 000 prompts)

AI companies have made the problem worse by setting up systems where prompting AIs let the AI break down the prompt into multiple sub-prompts, and then submit each sub-prompt to an AI. This increases the number of prompts potentially infinitely.

The moment AI companies stop subsidizing their services - and they will, because maybe they'll be able to spend the upcoming $1T dollars, but they will absolutely not ever be able to afterward spend the $10 TRILLION no matter what AI zealots say, for reasons that should be obvious - prices will just up 10x and everyone who's been telling their employees "just switch your workflow over to AI, I don't care if it makes sense, just do it, AI is the future" will start burning money like an arson at the mint.

The beginning of the end is now, because some AI companies have already switched from flat-rate to pay-per-token (which basically means 'the more you use AI, the more you have to pay') in an attempt to save money (by discouraging customers from, y'know, providing custom) - which means now the price is somewhat the customer's problem. And CEOs are now starting to freak out at the thing that everyone's been screaming at them to not ignore for years.

I'm just glad they're finally saying things somewhat related to reality on the subject of AI.

What report did he receive that told him AI use was gonna harm his company's income

Dunno if this breaks the rules, but I thought it was a clever decoration :D

Glad you like it

I saw it anyways^^

“Oh finally! The finale will explain everything that has been going o-“

”It’s a brand new shape”

“… right…”

I get that "toynbee" and "tomi000" look kinda similar, but I think you might have responded to the wrong person.

It really is like you said and feels like a really long ITYSL skit. 😃

Even if the show is awful, at least you'll presumably gain somewhere to rest your posterior!

Welp I'm about to check it out rn actually. If I remember, I'll report back with my opinion. :p

The humor is completely Tim Robinson style, very close to ITYSL. Its got more of a story (obviously), a bit like Detroiters in that regard. Very much all over the place within a drama/mystery framework, but thats more of a necessity if that makes sense.

There are a lot of cross references. For example, there’s a scene where he talks loudly on his phone about his dog is loose - it’s worth at least an episode.

I just heard about this show yesterday. I am not sure if it's a straight up comedy sitcom thing or a dryly humorous drama, though.

I love I Think You Should Leave; I'm not too much into drama or extremely dry humor, tho.

Idk who all he's funded (recently). I think a lot of establishment Democrats have donors other than Thiel that wouldn't want Mamdani to cut into their business.

I just know Ro Kahnna invested in Palantir right before they got that giant Army contract, he received donations directly from Theil at least as of a few years ago (so did Newsom). Kahnna is also very close with David Sacks (who also funded JD Vance).

David Sacks, who was a key figure in developing Paypal, served as its COO and later founded the social networking service Yammer. Sacks previously chipped in $1 million of his personal fortune to a pro-Vance super PAC, according to FEC records.

There is this ridiculous Facebook comment from 2016 where Kahnna is fangirling hard for Thiel and centrism in general.

The way establishment Dems are treating Mamdani infuriates me, and I think that shit is going to be the death of the democratic party.

But also, I live in Louisiana and realistically I'm not even necessarily opposed to centrist Dems. I have experienced "both sides." I had no idea how privileged I was to make it through 2016-2020 with the governor I had back then. At this point, I would give just about anything to have a centrist Democrat running the state again compared to the right-wing chucklefuck that is destroying everything at lightning speed. Still, let me be the first to say about this post kissing Peter Thiel's ass (and the comments somehow already talking like LLM bots back in 2016): 🤮

So this wasn't a wild conspiracy theory my Portland friends told me when they said the big money men trying to undermine Mamdani were fronting for Thiel? That's wild!

.... still hasn't reached even the outskirts of the mainstream, but man, that would be juicy. ..

Thiel is the entire reason Vance is vice president. This has been the plan the entire time.

He doesn't really care who is the face sitting in the seat, he's the one controlling things. He's also already paying some Democrats if for some reason we're even allowed to vote in the midterms or next presidential elections. That's literally his backup plan.

With Trump in place he doesn't have to do any of that, or at least do so much less. With Vance, he at least has to put his neck out more.

Thiel can buy, threaten, or blackmail any coalition he needs.

Also, when people hear Vance say stuff like the Constitution does not allow a judge to override executive authority, they tend to think he just doesn't know about checks and balances.

He made it from West Virginia to Yale law school. He knows.

He also knows everyone is entitled to due process.

Still, we'll be hearing a lot of things like that once he's president.

Vance can't hold a coalition of ghouls together like Trump.
