    Not yet, but wait until they’ve reduced their workforce by 75%, and they can save all those associated expenses.

    It won’t work, of course, but they’ve deluded themselves into believing it.

      Certainly part of the sales pitch. But so far it turns out humans are more efficient (cost less). I think the appeal to companies is the control (and the cost while it’s so heavily subsidized by the industry pushing it). The appeal to the major AI investors and execs is to… privatize the profits and socialize the losses. They will golden parachute themselves and leave the people with their mess.

        This part. Rich people never stopped jerking off over the idea of owning slaves.

      The vast majority of the costs are HW and infra

      I think they’re hoping that reaches more of a steady state

        With how quickly tech advances and hardware degrades under heavy use, they’re going to be pushing that rock up a hill for a good while lol
