I am intrigued by a future where I can burn seventy dollars per hour watching my cursor click buttons on the computer that I own
- bastawhiz 2y agoAmazingly my employer continues to pay me hundreds of dollars an hour to search Kagi and type on a computer they paid for and own!
- jrflowers 2y agoAnd to think they could be paying you to supervise the buttons clicking themselves instead! The past where the lack of a human meant a lack of input is over, all hail the future where a lack of a human could mean wasteful and counterproductive input instead
- bastawhiz 2y agoWhat I'm hearing is that now they can fire my manager
- tylerchilds 2y agoi think you’d get fired and your boss will be demoted to your position.
- ionwake 2y agoa smart take
- urbandw311er 2y agoYou wouldn’t sit there watching your paid human assistant work would you? So why would you sit watching your paid AI assistant? I think the general idea is that you’re off doing something more productive, more relaxing or more profitable!

- nkrisc 2y agoA human assistant would have been fired already.
- tylerchilds 2y agoi don’t think anyone is going to fire anyone willing to work for 38 cents for any reason.
- jrflowers 2y agoSeventy dollars per hour equates to paying a full time employee roughly $145k per year
- urbandw311er 2y agoWe can probably assume this will come down by at least an order of magnitude.

- KronisLV 2y agoAren't a lot of the current LLMs and AI technologies heavily subsidized to the point where turning a profit sometime in the next decade or so might actually mean increasing the prices? https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/27/openai-might-raise-the-price-of-chatgpt-to-22-by-2025-44-by-2029/ https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/27/openai-might-raise-the-pri... > The New York Times, citing internal OpenAI docs, reports that OpenAI is planning to raise the price of individual ChatGPT subscriptions from $20 per month to $22 per month by the end of the year. A steeper increase will come over the next five years; by 2029, OpenAI expects it’ll charge $44 per month for ChatGPT Plus. > The aggressive moves reflect pressure on OpenAI from investors to narrow its losses. While the company’s monthly revenue reached $300 million in August, according to the New York Times, OpenAI expects to lose roughly $5 billion this year. Expenditures like staffing, office rent, and AI training infrastructure are to blame. ChatGPT alone was at one point reportedly costing OpenAI $700,000 per day.
