I just felt a great disturbance in the force, as if millions of low-effort PRs suddenly cried out and were silenced.

Maintainers worldwide breathe a sigh of relief. Businesses are about to wake up to some very interesting invoices.

I wonder if there's a Copilot to make those intelligent decisions. 🤔😉

There was this page showing graphs of how much revenue each company brings and how much money they spend on providing "AI" and every single one of them was deeeeeply in the deficit.

25x is a guesstimation probably. But it has gotten more expensive in general.

The current costs for AI tools all are dumping prices.

Yet they've been pushing developers to use LLMs for everything - and now we need to find out which operations are even still useful with increased costs.

x25 is only the beginning, seeing how awfully inefficient LLMs are. I'd already be asking "is this still viable if costs increase x100?".

It'll make for more intelligent decisions about what kind of jobs businesses want to hand over to AI and how much quality they expect for what they're paying. And on whether or not to switch to local LLMs running on local hardware. LLM co-op farms might become a thing.

We live in interesting times.
