In recent weeks, AI companies have either tightened up or hiked prices on their subscription services—or throttled access to the systems they offer. GitHub paused new Copilot Pro signups in April while announcing it would move to a usage-based system from June 1. OpenAI has introduced a wider range of pricing tiers at different levels in order to try and better capture the different ways its products are used. And last month, Anthropic was forced to admit it had accidentally been serving users a cut-down version of Claude compared to the one they thought they were accessing because of an error introduced when trying to make their models more efficient. It’s all part of the challenges AI labs face in keeping up with demand, and tackling what’s already considered to have been a highly subsidized product. Nvidia, which develops the lion’s share of the chips powering the AI revolution, says that AI can now cost more than human workers. Caption from article by Chris Stokel-Walker, Inc.com.

Imagine graduating, it's your time to be the future, and the person giving the speech just says "AI is the future now"
If the speaker at my graduation said " AI is the future" I'd sling words that would make my sailor grampa blush
That crowd booing the ai speaker was cathartic to watch. I hope I’m lucky enough to be in the same situation one day
Clarification: the BAGS of Reese’s miniatures are 5 ounces smaller.
Good for those grads for booing!! I would too!
"Yay! You graduated! All that money and work you put into your degree is useless because we're replacing you with AI!" Who wrote her speech, AI?
I laughed so hard at the chugging water bit. Not a word said, but hilarious.
I was one of the students at that graduation. She was literally talking about AI in front of the ARTS and HUMANITIES as well as GAME DESIGN schools. You wonder why we booed.
even funnier how the "increasing demand" is not entirely organic. As companies shove "ai" features into every existing and new product they have, simply using the product, even without touching the actual AI feature, will be counted towards to the 'demand' by the company to look better on reports
how tf did the graduation speaker decide that would be a good thing to say
Funny how the tool that was supposed to be much more cost effective than humans might now become even more expensive than just hiring a person
Yes, please, take ai out of my email, my phone, my browser and all the other places they shoved it in without our permission!
the random “i love you!!” always makes me laugh
Eye slip on DaveAI is nightmare fuel.
What a stupid thing to say at a graduation… “you’re going out into the working world, but you’ll be obsolete because AI is taking your jobs. Good luck!” Proper reaction by the graduates.
Literally cannot happen fast enough. AI is autocanniballistic and I YEARN for the day it finishes it's slow suicide.
AI was seen as this 'tool to replace real workers' and now that's fallen through its now a service/product. Which, is being sold and subject to the same issues...
Nice. Let's make it even stupider.
That water on mic sound was whatever the polar opposite of ASMR was XD
Can't wait to read an e-mail from my boss that isn't 100% Copilot.
