why wouldn't AI companies adjust token costs to be just a bit cheaper than employing a human? isn't that profitmaxxing? they aren't able to build new datacenters, so increased profits have to come from somewhere.

I think it's always been the latter: the demand is partly illusory, and most people indeed know tokens are heavily subsidized atm.

But unironically. The only way exploitation of human labor becomes obsolete is if human labor itself becomes obsolete. Idk how many humans will be left alive after the proliferation of AI, but they will all live in an actual utopia.

>>
>>108632720
The bubble might implode, but they'll never go back to the old way. Cost effective or not, the current wave of AI proliferation is an undeniable proof of concept, and they'll dedicate everything to improving the cost effectiveness if needed. If a human brain can do some task cost-effectively, then there's no reason to believe it's physically impossible for a machine to do so.

A large part of their cost of operation is energy, energy itself isn't cheap and won't become any cheaper in the medium term.
Developing energy efficiency also takes more investment and time.
As more regular people start using ai for random day to day activities, the costs also rise and the losses along with it exponentially, so we're due for a correction sooner or later.
Will we go back to the way it was before? No, but ai will become an exclusivity product mostly for state actors that are willing to foot the bill actually needed to make it profitable.

>why wouldn't AI companies adjust token costs to be just a bit cheaper than employing a human?
Because employing a human is actually cheaper than maintaining all the infrastructure and paying for all the utilities to have an AI do the equivalent work. They literally can't undercut a normal living wage for a normal human employee, because then the whole thing wouldn't be profitable to them anymore.

Circular money isn't a boast, when the entire grift of DEI and money printing allowed for customers to not matter and top down morality to rule. The current stock market growth is entirely dependent on the circular cycle. When it actually has to start being used to install the data centers, the bubble will pop, and they're going to need another money printer injection moment to keep it going.

The demand is high because AI compute is heavily subsidised with VC cash. Users on the $200/month subscription can burn $5000 of tokens. Corporations like Meta are burning trillions of tokens in a month just because they can. When AI startups go public they'll have to massively raise prices and end free services.
>>
>>108631677
>AI is officially not a bubble. Demand is far higher than supply allows.
Except; supply and demand is not how you define a bubble.

There being enough demand means nothing if you cannot supply for that demand while attaining a reasonable net profit. And that's precisely what AI vendors cannot.

Also- a lot of the demand is hype-induced bandwagoning nonsense, further fueled by dumb CEOs without understanding of their own business processes drinking the koolaid and providing for a mandate from on high, to use of AI throughout their organization 'or else.'

isn't it slightly concerned that all of the combined written text in the whole world up to this point accounts for human development spanning from the time humans were building pyramids and doing human sacrifice up through about 10 years ago.

Either you are unaware that 2000-2014 was the great recession, in which case we can safely ignore your opinion, or you *are* aware of the great recession and are just gaslighting us in the hopes that we are ignorant of history, in which case we can also safely ignore your opinion.

Actually, what it says there is companies are spending far more than what they budgeted even before usage even takes off.
None of these companies are improving productivity by 15%, so that 15% extra budget is hurting them.
