There is just so much downward pressure on token price, from every direction. We would need a completely new understanding of economics to explain why the price shouldn’t go down. Or market collusion/regulatory manipulation.
- simianwords 2mo agoThe price has been going down for ages, its not clear what you are pointing at
- phoghed 2mo agoPointing at the nay sayers who say tokens are heavily subsidized and it’s all going to come crashing down soon, surely any moment now
- dgellow 2mo agoI mean, it will obviously crash at some point. With so much pressure on token price to go down that means way less opportunity for margin for AI providers. OpenAI is in a pretty bad situation
- simianwords 2mo agoWhat does this have to do with margins? It can remain the same once prices go down
- dgellow 2mo agoAt the price going down? And that it will continue to go down, even if the hardware improvements stop. Not sure what isn’t clear
- dumberquestions 2mo agoThe demand for them is growing _per person_, not just across the wider economy, if tokens cost half as much but you want to use 3 times as much you're going to have to pay more.
- jazzyjackson 2mo agoMaybe 1000s of tokens per second unlocks realtime robotic decision making, and now every robot needs to continuously stream tokens to and from the cloud to operate. That could 1000x demand overnight, just to speculate :)

- jacquesm 2mo agoI would very much like it if anything that moves with appreciable mass is governed locally just in case the link drops and/or latency suddenly goes up. Motion is very unforgiving and accidents will happen if that's not taken into account.

- dgellow 2mo agoI think you just found what we will see in the S-1 prospectus of OpenAI
