"This is a doom spiral"
"This is big tech stealing from Silicon Valley and to see it as anything else is naive."
"That AI startup that needs to keep raising 100 B dollars in a single round isn't sending that cash to other startups. It's mostly going to Open Ai, who sends it to Microsoft, Amazon, Core, Evil, Google, Anthropic who sends it to Google, Microsoft or Amazon or one of the large hyperscalers such as Amazon, Microsoft or Google." /1

"Both open ai and anthropics models might be getting cheaper on a per million token basis, but they use more tokens, which increases the cost of inference, which in turn increases the cost of startups doing business, which in turn means Open Ai, Anthropic and all connected startups lose more money, which increases the burn on venture capital. This is a doom spiral"
