Ask HN: What will happen as AI costs increase?

4•MetaWhirledPeas•1h ago
We are living in the "penetration pricing" phase of AI, where costs are absorbed by seemingly endless investment. What will be the practical fallout when prices inevitably rise?

What do you think will happen? How does supply and demand work? Practically every business and government in existence is existentially dependent on AI, speculation on it is the only thing keeping the world from global financial collapse. It's "too big to fail" at a scale that dwarfs the financial crisis of 2008.

You'll pay the fucking danegeld is what you'll do, and keep paying it, because you reorganized your entire existence around and mortgaged your future on a closed proprietary third party service's business model that is now a single point of failure for our entire technological civilization, making its market value practically infinite.

That's a collective "you" there, by the way, not "you" personally.
