Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash

Every extra person using all these AI tools is only adding to the issue.

No, literally the opposite. They are going to do this until it is not financially viable. The more frugal and conscientious people are with their AI, the longer it is financially viable. If you want to pop the bubble, go set up a bot to hammer their free systems with bogus prompts. Run up their bills until they can’t afford to be speculative any more.

Run up their bills until they can’t afford to be speculative any more.

Sadly I don’t think you’ve met venture capitalists… they will use your usage as a KPI for success. They have a runway longer than you can imagine, check the history of Amazon or Uber. They can be unprofitable for years, heck longer than a decade, and they are fine with it because they are claiming (and sadly sometimes right) to be cornering a trillion dollar market.

  Amazon is the exception, not the rule. Check the history of the dotcom bubble, including amazon. Uber is no longer allowed to lose money like it once was. That’s why they’ve switched from cheap rides and good pay, to algorithmic pricing and shit pay.

    I’m not saying it’s a good strategy, just that since SoftBank it’s basically core to the VC default playbook.
    
    I believe it’s been tweaked, thanks to Musk, Enron and banks to subsidies transitioning to too big to fail.
    
    So, it might not work, ever, but I still think if you look at the large VC rounds, that’s what they are funding, to be so big nobody can reach you at any cost.

  Except they have to actually corner the market.
  
  And if there’s anything LLMs don’t lack, it’s competition.

My electric bill is already 2x+ that of the neighboring city due to data centers having an understanding with the for profit electric company that serves us. No thank you.

  That’s a separate problem, tbh. Tell your reps you’re not happy that they’re selling you out.
