It’s a bad bet. AI is unprofitable now because they are building the datacenters.‘do you think one day those are going to be done and just never touched again? No, they’re going to constantly upgraded. They’re an ongoing and forever cost for upkeep, a fraction of- but a significant one - of their initial cost.

The AI companies, however, are never going to lower prices. They’re going to raise them until some of the market gets uncomfortable paying them. Then, they’re going to hold them there.

Will it be cheaper in the long run? No. Not really.

But it was never about replacing workers anyways. It was about fooling enough C-levels and middle managers and even “normies” that Super Amazing Smart Bot can do your job while YOU live in comfort! Incredible! Hey kids, tried of thinking? Let the agents do it FOR you!

And once enough were on board, and the “demand” was so great; oopsie they bought up all the compute on planet earth. All information flows through them now. Every company, every home, every document, every email, every PowerPoint presentation, every lewd text. Indexed, summarized, graphed, reported in real-time.

We just lost personal computing, and it’s literally capitalism’s design goal.
