I don't see any problem with refunding the massive AI expenses. All the AI costs will be pushed down on consumers whether they need AI or not. Nobody will ask them. Everybody is so deeply hooked on SaaS and cloud and LLM providers that they have lost any bargaining power and will pay whatever prices the hyperscalers and SaaS platforms will tell them to pay. The prices have already been raising because "now it includes AI".
To pay back $3 trillion, 1 billion consumers will have to pay just $3000 each, or $83/mo monthly over 3 years, on average. Of course they will pay that and even more.
Ture, but also, know that sometimes that just happens - the kids want to be solo, not talk, etc. Easy to kill yourself thinking you need to be perfect.
Let’s not pretend that it’s some massive percentage of normal investors that get any say in this.
OK, pension fund, investors, black rock, Vanguard, city group, all of Wall Street want to see the number go up right?
And what’s the easy way to make the number go up? Run as lean as possible even if it means supply chain fragility, over optimize, under deliver because who cares, sacrifice the long-term.
