Sources and leaks from Amazon, Adobe, Atlassian, Citi, and more show what is really happening with AI right now: companies are trying to rein in AI use as costs spiral out of control.

    They loved it too much and now it costs more than paying a living wage to a human being. The end goal of AI was always to cut cost and layoff people. The best sabotage right now is to setup a script that constantly prompts an LLM for something useless. I would recommend it if it didn’t waste so much energy and clean water. But it would send a message. AI is not cheaper, it never was. Even with today’s outrageous token prices, LLM companies are still bleeding money per user. It will only get more expensive as data center contracts fall through and the investment craze fizzles out.

      I wouldn’t. It’s not possible to do meaningful validation of a process that has AI in the loop because it is not repeatable and there is no reliable explainability. So for anything where money or lives are at stake, it’s not worth a shit. Same goes for anything where the company is held liable for false statements.
