I'm super confused how anyone can actually afford to pay per token for llms to actually do dev.

I tried it with a feature, took about 10 minutes and a lot of iterations, and would easily have used hundreds of thousands of tokens. Doing this 20, 30 times a day would be crazy expensive.

They will, especially when it comes to paying back the VCs all the burnt GenAI-dollars
I thought VCs were investors.

Generally when your investment fails you don’t get paid back, right?

Where were you in 2008?
