The rich who benefit from this don’t care. They have enough wealth that it doesn’t matter. We could all be starving to death, fighting each other scraps of bread in the street, and they’d believe we deserve it.

If anything, that would drive prices down so they could build their next vacation home for pennies on the dollar.

Don’t worry, you’ll still get shit on by your manager. Probably even harder than now:

The restaurant-level analytics, which Yum refers to as Accelerated Restaurant Intelligence, will be used to create action plans for restaurant managers at struggling locations, using best practices from stronger-performing units.

They’ll be sending your human boss AI generated plans that may or may not have been successful at a totally different location, that they’ll have to try to make work.

Which ones have you guessing? It feels a little insane to read compared to the standard 2 letter abbreviation, but they’re all pretty clear to me.

I don’t even think it’s about anything that cunning. It’s just about making the AI market pay-to-play.

Want to release a new model? Well, I hope you’ve kissed the ring and made a nice “donation” to the king.

I think the overlap between people who think using Linux is hard and the people who would open regedit in the first place is basically zero.

The whole “AI Credit” thing did strike me as odd to even introduce. They mention a few times that 1 AI Credit = $0.01, but then do the whole pricing table in $/1M tokens.

The only place I saw them even use “AI Credits” as a unit was to say the $10/month plan includes 1000 AI Credits. Why even introduce a whole new unit if you only use it to say your $10 monthly plan includes $10 of usage?

I suspect the answer is so that they can later muddy the waters by changing the number of included credits to be less than you’re paying monthly without directly saying “you’re now paying $20/month for $10 of usage”

I guess it is coming from the same people who came up with the world’s most inscrutable billing scheme for compute…
