It does seem to me like Microsoft (and every other company developing AI models) is doing so at a loss, and a signifigant one.
Is the play here to get everyone hooked on AI and then jack up the price to make a profit?
If so, I worry about Junior devs in particular, who have never developed the skills to write software themselves, suddenly finding themselves being "cut off" from their AI dealer
Or people generally who outsource their thinking to AI, forget how to do things for themselves, and suddenly face a big bill!
- WolfeReader 10mo agoI wouldn't call them "devs" if they can't write software.
- jmkni 10mo agowell exactly
- Griffinsauce 10mo agoThis is 1000% the play, it's the only one that actually works out (for _some_ vendors). Extra fun when you've let go of all your actual experienced engineers and then the squeeze comes.
