Do you hate AI?

Here is a polished, punchy version of your post that keeps the aggressive, anti-AI edge and focuses entirely on the economic strategy to break the system:

If you genuinely hate AI, now is the time to band together and ensure it never becomes permanently embedded in your work life.
The strategy is simple: Use Copilot for anything and everything, no matter how small.

Why? Because right now, the costs are heavily subsidized. GitHub has already started shifting toward metered billing, meaning every single prompt costs tons of tokens. By this time next year, full-blown model access will be completely unsustainable for corporate budgets because of how expensive it actually is to run.

We are already starting to see Copilot throw "too busy to respond" errors. Keep pushing it. Keep up the volume. The current pricing model is a house of cards, and if we maximize consumption, the technology becomes completely unfeasible to maintain at the rate we're paying.

@px yeah.... They will. Because they will need less manpower and features out quicker.

Probably could replace quite a few people with KCC employees using AI

@ph you’re right, the same company that bi--hes about employees requesting formal $200 trainings for jobs they’re assigned or buys the shittiest possible computer monitors (<$500/employee amortized over 5 years works out to be $100/employee), skimps on literally fu--ing anything to promote quality of life in office (cubicles????), and nickel and dimes basic fu--ing software licenses like vizio or microsoft project for macs is totally gonna be cool with $20k spend per employee for something intangible like “tokens”.

Give me a break.

@n5 it's not true. It's not even that expensive if you are reasonable and responsible with it use.

Giving employees an extra 15k-20k each for AI use that speeds up timelines x% is almost always going to be worth it. We are just in the early stages of adoption where the industry as a whole still has to figure out it's best and most efficient use cases.

You're making the same argument people used to have against computers or the internet. AI is around to stay whether you like it or not.

@jp that's not true. The amount of money they've invested will be impossible to recoup without drastic pricing changes in the near future. This isn't like previous tech IPOs that have been allowed to go over a decade without profile. The amount of capital borrowed generated enough interest that it will cripple these companies if they do not turn a profit within the next 5 years.

Keep prompting for anything and everything.

If you hate AI you can go this route I guess but AI especially at this price point is here to stay and this won't really be effective.

Even if Anthropic, Google, or OpenAI wanted to raise prices, they can't because of Chinese competition. If anything, what may end up happening is these companies will get big tax breaks and subsidies either for those using AI, producing AI, or both.

Also AI costs are tied to you and your account personally. So if you are just burning money there is a non zero chance that will come back to haunt you. If everyone burns money because they can, they will likely just lay off people to help pay for it which I would argue is also counter productive.

Everyone is free to make their own decisions, of course.
