This narrative has been pushed hard lately that $200 a month is a “bargain” because it’s “worth” $1000. If that’s true, then these companies will be running out of venture capital money very soon. Then their only recourse will be to sell themselves or insert ads into LLM responses then this will be a total shit show.

It’s easy to see how trivial it will be to have an adwords type operation where output tokens are replaced with paid values.

For example:

this_varable_is_sponsored_by_starbucks = 42

That would be a terrible revenue model because no one's going to read code anymore, they're going to just keep piling on agents until the vibes align
