My guess is the bosses are keeping an eye on the total personnel cost, not merely the salary. And they probably also factor in features like “LLMs don't think about collective bargaining”, and “LLMs are far less likely to say an idea is unethical or stupid”. But even that threshold will, I guess, be exceeded too by the mounting costs, pretty soon. @benno@eigenmagic.net

@benno@eigenmagic.net AI extortion rackets -- It's a weird concept... 1. Steal all human knowledge & fry the planet in the process 2. Ransom all human knowledge back to its creators, beneficiaries, owners, & copyright holders Only fossil fuel funded vultures like Charles Koch & Musk could come up with an inheritable "stolen car chop shop" business model. https://www.wired.com/story/musk-v-altman-trial-closing-arguments/ https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05/14/technology/openai-trial-sam-altman-elon-musk https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czj2k2exdzlo https://www.desmog.com/2025/12/11/the-koch-network-is-pushing-trump-to-accelerate-ai-documents-show/ https://www.theguardian.com/technology/commentisfree/2026/may/14/elon-musk-sam-altman-ai-feud https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-05-13/musk-s-xai-races-to-get-wall-street-firms-to-use-grok-chatbot

@benno@eigenmagic.net I mean, there are LLMs you can run on your own hardware. You don't *have* to pay for this.

@benno@eigenmagic.net this one's even better! Apparently this was with the Opus 4.6 model. https://preview.redd.it/ilzexpmuar0h1.png?width=2506&format=png&auto=webp&s=82f6e5d7b5adaf2f44dd95734d371491a999ea0a
