You are right about addiction; the instant gratification is on peak with tools like Claude. I use $200 plan and my token usage for last 30 days is 30M , If I do basic math, it will be equivalent to $1500. Assuming companies get 50% discount, still that cost is too much multiplier.

My usage might be outliner here, but 200->400 is an average case.

Anyone paying enterprise billing can you shed some light how on the earth you will be able to fund this bill going forward?

Were you able to see assisted AI coding savings proportional to costs increase now you are going to get?

Companies removed people as AI assisted coding will be cheaper and now coding cost are going up from fixed $X to non-deterministic. The posts by Uber few days back about spending 12 months' worth of money in 4 months tells a lot.

Only path forward seems using Open-source models and many companies don't use Chinese that makes only Mistral one as the option.

I am in 40s and going to be made redundant this June. In future only people who can afford to keep things like Claude, OpenAI and most importantly create value using them more than what others can do be able to survive. Otherwise, game is more or less over, and I question what's next for my own future while I learn to use Claude in FOMO. I cannot trust Sam or others if they will have any interest to keep this tech affordable for common people like me.

People who are paying $100K are not qualified as per education or job sponsorship standards of H1b. So, they are two different audience.

You can compare the $100K payers with new Trump gold card scheme, many will take it if there is no other condition except money.

In the end in few years, it will be whosoever has better AI wins in all fields. Monopoly sort of thing. I finance world maybe they win most of the trades.
