@dakkar@s.thenautilus.net @joe@f.duriansoftware.com management at the day job straight up said "don't worry about it" just before mandating that everyone use it. we're planning on connecting it to the emacs doctor so we show up on the usage dashboard and then redirecting that output to /dev/null

@dakkar@s.thenautilus.net unless you're thinking of a very specific business plan, software companies for example (who have started using LLMs at large because it can really speed up many things) don't seem to run a big risk of lock-in. You can replace gpt with claude and claude with gemini without changing your workflow, and if those three lobby up to raise prices, there are quite a few upcoming LLMs that would gladly take their place at a lower cost.

@dakkar@s.thenautilus.net @joe@f.duriansoftware.com I can’t speak for companies, but there are two relevant shifts I see: LLMs are being commodified, and it turns out large models don’t necessarily make better products. Smaller, purpose-built models might be ran on local hardware, for example. That’s not a definitive answer to your question. But I used to wonder about this, too. And this is how I sleep at night.

@dakkar@s.thenautilus.net asked this at work when people started using Claude so they didn't have to think while coding. The reply was that there are multiple providers, which is competition, therefore prices can never go up.

@dakkar@s.thenautilus.net from so many of the public numbers it appears that those prices are massively subsidized by the raised funding At some point they'll need to pivot to being actually profitable and it is hard to see how their costs will lower, which means some degree of price increase is all but guaranteed at an unknown point in the future
