Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

@yy no, limitation here is energy supply, and it's a fundamental civilization level constraint, you cannot scale out of it without new scalable energy source like commercial fusion.

@yy But the cost of electricity keeps going up.

Only for now. The chips will get cheaper over time, similar to TVs

@e1 AI usage is turning out to be way more expensive than payroll. Am I the only one who finds this screamingly funny?

Agentic AI eats up to 1000x more tokens than standard normal AI. This is going to backfire.

So I was told if we use too few tokens - we will be RIFed and it's performance review cycle now. So the he-l they want from us then?

I was told to limit AI use because they are now charging departments. Go figure.

@ax Ai is running into it's first business reality check, and real cost accounting...Uber and GitHub also limiting the Ai token use.

I am just using them non-stop while they free, in fact I wrote my agents burning them in the background to automate all aspects of my work and build up personal knowledge base while it's still free and infinite. It will end very soon and will become a scarce controlled resource as everything else.

Microsoft cancels Claude Code licences after engineers use it too much, and the token costs are surpassing the salary costs
