What do you think will happen? How does supply and demand work? Practically every business and government in existence is existentially dependent on AI, speculation on it is the only thing keeping the world from global financial collapse. It's "too big to fail" at a scale that dwarfs the financial crisis of 2008.

You'll pay the fucking danegeld is what you'll do, and keep paying it, because you reorganized your entire existence around and mortgaged your future on a closed proprietary third party service's business model that is now a single point of failure for our entire technological civilization, making its market value practically infinite.

That's a collective "you" there, by the way, not "you" personally.

Isn't it strange? You'd think there were some lessons learned from the 2008 crisis but apparently not. It is not that long ago to be forgotten already.

[andrei_says_]

The lesson is that if you’re too big to fail no laws apply to you and there unlimited money to be made.

It has been learned very well.

The brazen violation of intellectual property was a precondition of making this technology useful. Taking the risk of breaking the law at this unprecedented scale was an informed decision made based on this very lesson.

AI model prices are getting cheaper over time, per amount of capability.

opus 4.6 -> 4.7 did not respect this assumption

[atleastoptimal]

4.7 is better imo and uses fewer tokens per requests

and it did not even got better.
