I think AI subsidy will end soon and so will our debate on AI replacing humans
I feel we’re all underestimating how much of “AI growth” right now is subsidized.
For consumers this is probably the best time to live :) - Cheap tokens, Free credits, VCs lighting money on fire, Cloud providers giving insane discounts just to win workloads
Try running serious volume without credits, without discounts, without investor money and suddenly the math looks very different.
For heavy users, OpenAI and Claude are probably loosing $50 - $200 /month/user. No wonder Anthropic discontinued OpenClaw use with Claude.
I hope they figure out how to make this cheaper or we all are in for a rude awakening. What do you all think?
