The market is insane. The valuations for stocks connected in any way to "AI" have no connection to reality whatsoever.
Trump to manipulate the stock market again
Fixed that headline.
Hey, could you edit this to not have the entire body of the article?
As others have pointed out, the compute cost of inference is only one small part of the puzzle. All the frontier model providers - which OpenRouter gives you access to - are massively raising their prices in desperate bids to recoup the cost of model generation in the first place.
There's really no hiding from the token apocalypse unless you're running a model on your own hardware.
The unique thing about GitHub Copilot (and all the other vibe-coding tools) is that they're speed-running the playbook because this shit is not profitable. It can't be. Their costs scale up with usage, unlike every other business that can take advantage of economies of scale, so they've skipped the slow, steady enshittification phase and jumped directly into the "squeeze blood from this stone to keep the scam going a little longer" phase.
Yeah, my completely non-techie family members could become "hackers" easily that way.
Out of curiosity, is his work on any of the "frontier" models? Or is he developing the small, open-weight models you can run on sufficiently beefy personal systems? There's a world of difference there in terms of ethics.
I work with a few AI engineers myself, and I don't think I know anyone who hates companies like OpenAI and Anthropic more than they do.
Dude... Your kid's a supervillain.
(I joke, but still... AI? Wish it was something less destructive.)
Understandable. He was apparently very sick that day, and obviously also very old.
Still wish he was president instead of the shit-gibbon, though.
I'm just holding out hope that my company still has enough sanity left to keep from firing the team responsible for its (incredibly busy, active, and above all publicly-facing) developer portal in favor of having a vibe-coder ~~destroy~~ maintain it. At least long enough for the AI bubble to finally burst.
That I still have one. I'm a software developer, and my entire industry has lost its mind.

I love how you guys keep declaring the war all but over, and then Ukraine keeps kicking the shit out of you because they didn't get the memo.
You know how you guys could actually play nice? Fuck off back to your own country. Maybe then Ukraine will stop kicking the shit out of you.
