Do you also think $40K a year for Hubspot is insane? What about people who pay $1k in order to work on a field for 4 hours hitting a small ball with a stick?

The truth is that there are people who value the marginal performance -- if you think it's insane, clearly it's not for you.

Those people want to purchase status. Unless they ship you a fancy bow tie and a wine tasting at a wood cabin with your chatgpt subscription this isn't gonna last long.

This isn't about marginal performance, it's an increasingly desperate attempt to justify their spending in a market that's increasingly commodified and open sourced. Gotta convince Microsoft somehow to keep the lights on if you blew tens of billions to be the first guy to make a service that 20 different companies are soon gonna sell for pennies.

I'm extremely excited because this margin represents opportunity for all the other LLM startups.
