It's amazing AI companies can legally bill by usage.
"How much will this cost?"
"No idea."
"What will I get?"
"No idea."
"Can you estimate either?"
"Absolutely not!"
We're one jackpot animation away from calling it a slot machine.

@fribbledom@mastodon.social They hope to fall back/recurse to time-based billing like they used to in the mainframe days. So they can slowly iterate the new step-evolution into micro-speculation, et al. Won't work, but let them think it will. The deeper in this funnel they go, the more complete their implosions will be. Shhhh! We're hunting oligarchs. 🪔

@fribbledom@mastodon.social The difference is I like slot machines. I don’t like ambiguity of this kind!
