MS is switching its billing system from a flat subscription rate to a token-usage system that has the potential to bill users at a significantly higher rate.

Did people not realise big tech has been largely subsidising the cost of AI usage in order to get people on-board?
The cost was always going to go up eventually, and it will go up again because those “hyperscaling” data-centres cost a lot of money, and the investors want their money back and then some.
Those “people” are executives, and no, they didn’t. Those fucking morons thought they could replace people, amd they tried first chance they got. This should be a wakeup call for everyone, everyone to unionize against these rich, greedy piles of shit literal morons.
They weren’t hiding this information. OpenAI Burns $2.30 for every $1 they charge the customer. They want us to use LLMs for every facet of our lives so we have no choice when they crank the cost up.
