  • People are adopting the current models, mostly coders right now.

    Models are being push down people’s throats, mostly to coders right now… there FIFY

    Most people using LLMs are using them for basic information search, ie. Google AI overviews. Those tasks don’t require the top models and don’t burn that many tokens so the companies keep them free to get the public exposed to AI.

    Again, this is forced, you literally cannot perform a google search (or bing) without getting some AI results whether you want it or not. Then AI companies, like you, use this to pretend it’s actual demand for their products

    … All of that equates to large bills for token spend to anthropic or open AI

    If 3% of people generate the cost the AI companies cannot keep to the prices they charge, then this is the definition of an unprofitable business

    This is why both open AI and anthropic are both seeing extremely high revenue growth. Anthropic ended 2025 with $9b in revenue , they are now on track to hit $100b revenue this year

    No, this is what they ARE CLAIMING THEY WILL REACH. Last year, Altman said it was ridiculous that people were saying they generated $12 billion in revenue… just to then show it was less than that. Now they are delaying their IPO which means the books stay closed for another while longer

    THAT IS INSANE, no software company has ever seen that kind of growth

    Again you are just drinking the koolaid here (not counting all the anecdotal evidence you now apply to all of Silicon Valley). The truth is that whatever revenue they actually have (or claim, “trust me bro”), you can’t even know if half of it comes from new investments, creative accounting or selling off assets, you just assume it is more people demanding more of their services and paying through the nose for it even if they have barely showed any tangible results in real life https://fortune.com/2026/08/22/executives-ai-productivity-layoffs-study/

    but if they even double there revenue next year that could change.

    Oh that’s it? just double the already inflated revenue they are reporting without any evidence? of course!!! and all I need to fly is to grow some wings, that’s it, it’s really that simple






  • sure… but also shitty excuses are just that.

    I have heard the following shitty excuses:

    • It’s never been done. That does not preclude anything from being done the first time

    • USA is too big. A strike means people stop working, ideally yes they show up somewhere to make it visible but you do not need to be anywhere specific for that. Everybody can strike in their own town

    • Re doing something small like boycotting Meta/Google: it will do nothing.

    • Re doing anything that requires any sacrifice: I am not willing to be DIE for this.

    • Re doing anything civil like writing to congress: they will just not care.
