That’s not standard practice for USA tech companies. A WARN notice includes text like “such-and-such org headcount to be reduced by 36 by Sep 11,” and doesn’t include specific names. Google bricks your MacBook and revokes your corporate acc

300e9 output tokens at the current Astra per-token API pricing ($50 per 1e6 output tokens) would be roughly $15,000,000 ignoring input tokens.

this is a highly marketable problem and specific teams at OpenAI were aware of specific competitor efforts. I would be surprised if this were happening on a large scale, but 1. Less than a hundred people in the world are working at this pro
