Remember when OpenAI launched Dall-E 2? You got a few tokens for free images and then had to pay for it. Presumably that was at least some reflection on the cost of producing the images.
Now you can create video for free and consumer expectations that generative AI should be super cheap have been set. That genie is not going to go easily back into the bottle.
I definitely think that was such a major blunder, but also it was probably done to make it a struggle to compete for smaller or starting companies.

Just exploitative market grab for early dominance. (Or: "Grift" lol.) They will make it back when all of us have no choice but use chatgpt for everything.
What? The line goes up? Where I can invest my life savings in the IPO?
Fuck AI, it's a bubble, etc. But I do wonder how much of the spending is actual revenue-generating operating costs and how much is further investment/R&D. I doubt Sam Altman sees spending Microsoft's billions on whatever tf he wants as a loss.
What's the deal with the "HPE" in some Register articles? It's apparently the Hewlett-Packard Enterprise logo, but articles about HPE don't appear to have that logo.
Is The Register affiliated with HPE now?
It's not small change anymore. That's what happens when you don't listen to your customers.
Considering how many trillions quietly went into the field, I expect that's a LOT lower than real numbers.
It that a lot of money? I can't tell anymore.
So, #FuckAI?
