This whole “AI/LLM” nonsense could’ve been a nothing burger if they correctly charged it at the get go… Ah, well. Venture capital is suckers, I guess? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Sinthesis@lemmy.today 5 points 2 months ago* From what I've seen, the AI companies don't even know what to charge. For example, claude.ai finally made an API for user costs and we get this fun fact: Values for a given date may be revised for up to 30 days as late events arrive and reconciliation runs. For invoicing-grade totals, query dates at least 30 days in the past. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Auli@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago The problem is though they made it basically free. And that was a mistake cause people don't like paying for stuff once it was free. permalink fedilink source parent
