>a company spent $500 million on Claudewho was it?
>>108953296happy, faggot?
Widely believed to be Amazon
>>108953307>Anthropic will never be profit-ACK
>>108953296>[Deleted]that means it's true
>>108953307>spiteful employees waste tokens on junk queriesdesu that's on them for letting employees have unlimited access/access to the pay per token model.The $200/month subscription is more than enough for everyone this was clearly malicious.
>>108953901And it's based. What the fuck are you going to do about it, AIcattle?
>>108953307When you owe a bank $1 million - it's your problem. When you owe a bank $500 million - it's the bank's problem.
>>108953307>BREAKING NEWS: AI IS TOTALLY MAKING MONEY, PLEASE INVEST
It might be a ploy by the employim to make AI look overly expensive to steal some time until the inevitable doom.
>>108953901>$200/month subscriptionIt's only for small corpos and individuals. Large companies have to pay API token pricing and an additional $20 per seat.
>>108953901It's not even spiteful employees wasting tokens. It's employees getting told that AI usage is important and everyone has to use AI and that AI usage is tracked. They literally create incentives to use as many tokens as possible.
>>108953307>NEW: Made up bullshit
>>108953307so wait, AI is profitable? everyone was saying it wasn't making money....
>>108955792I can sell you a night with an STD carrying prostitute for 500,000,000 too if you're rich and drunk enough to afford her.Anything can be profitable when your customer is the village idiot.
>>108955792its profitable in the way that someone accidentally giving me 50 thousand dollars instead of 50 makes me profitable
>>108955792Revenue and profit aren't the same thing.
what if you just dont pay the bill? lol.Massive Financial Losses: The card’s structure (no late, annual, or foreign transaction fees) and Apple’s mandate for generous Daily Cash rewards made it difficult for Goldman to generate profits. Goldman reportedly lost billions of dollars, taking heavy hits on bad loans.Strict Customer Requirements: Apple required Goldman to accept a large number of applicants, leading to higher-than-average exposure to subprime borrowers and high default rates.Regulatory Headaches: The consumer-facing operation brought intense scrutiny, including a notable $90 million fine from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).Shift in Corporate Strategy: Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon admitted the bank "tried to do too much too quickly". The Apple Card program was a distraction from their primary strengths of serving large corporate clients and managing wealth.
>>108953307Facebookhttps://www.theinformation.com/articles/meta-employees-vie-ai-token-legend-status>Employees at Meta Platforms who want to show off their AI superuser chops are competing on an internal leaderboard for status as a “Session Immortal”—or, even better, “Token Legend.”>The rankings, set up by a Meta employee on its intranet using company data, measure how many tokens—the units of data processed by AI models—employees are burning through. Dubbed “Claudeonomics” after the flagship product of AI startup Anthropic, the leaderboard aggregates AI usage from more than 85,000 Meta employees, listing the top 250 power users.>The Claudeonomics dashboard’s competitive dynamic has helped it gain traction internally, two people said. Over a recent 30-day period, total usage on the dashboard topped 60 trillion tokens, according to a copy of it viewed by The Information.>Based on Anthropic’s most recent public pricing for the latest version of its Claude Opus model, 4.6, the average price for input and output is about $15 per 1 million tokens. On that basis, 60 trillion tokens would amount to roughly $900 million, though it couldn’t be learned how Meta splits its usage across different models or what prices it pays.
>>108953307Based. All companies that use AI should be harmed.
>>108953307Why not just buy a server and run a local llm?
>>108953307>who was it?me, sorry
bling bling boy
>>108953307kek this is how companies go bankrupt lol. all because they wanted to hire retards who cannot tie their shoes.
>>108953307How do AI companies not profit?
>>108956155But where is all the revenue going?
>>108957211into financing additional lines of credit to cover their cost and keep employees paid
>>108957222Why dont ai companies just replace their employees with AI then?
>>108957233because AI is more expensive and less reliable then a human workforce
>AI makes me a 10x engineer>but i can't justify paying token costs that are 500x less than hiring a human would belol
>>108953868>>108957204>Company A makes widgets, which cost $2 to make and sell for $1>Company B buys 1 million widgets and throws 90% of them in the trash>Company A has $1 million in revenue, but $2 million in expenses>Company B spend $1 million to get $100k worth of widgetsthis is why nvidia (and maybe utility companies) are the only ones making any money>>108957211operating expenses (hardware, electricity)
>>108957495hardware is capex, not opex.also you amortized capex over many years.thus anthropic is already profitable.https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/mind-blowing-growth-is-about-to-propel-anthropic-into-its-first-profitable-quarter-7edbf2f4
>>108953307>NEW: AI [shill] [claims] a client accidentally spent $500,000,000 in a[n attempt to bilk more money out of investors]Fixed, and I did it manually, the old way.
>>108958611axios has journalistic standards and fact-checked that statement
Management circa March 2026>Everyone needs to use AI. We'll be hosting an AI usage leaderboard, and evaluating our next round of layoffs based on who is at the bottomManagement circa May 2026>What the fuck how did someone use half a billion dollars worth of tokens we only had 30M in funding!
>>108953307That was me. Sorry about that.
>>108953307Probably this >>108953901There are reports that Gen Z is sabotaging AI on every level in tech. Fvcking based. They want to punish us for putting aside our passion to make the product worse? They want to replace us with this inferior slop? Bleed.
>>108961699Good for Gen Z. I hope some millenials are joining in; I would if I was in such a position.
>>108961699>>108961867What about the Zalphas and Xennials?
What's the most expensive way to use agentic ai without actually accomplishing anything?
>>108961903set up an agent to coordinate other agents to perform traveling salesman analysis
