"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- No misinformation.
- No NSFW/NSFL content without being labeled NSFW or being in an appropriately-labeled spoiler tag.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- No AI-generated content. If you want to post examples of AI failing hillariously, there are other communities for that like !ArtificialIgnorance@lemmy.ca .
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

I am very confused. $9,000 in API costs, but also Claude Max subscription? Shouldn't it be $100-200/mo?
I had thought its either/or, either you pay per token, or a fixed subscription.
I think the number is just what it would have cost in pure AI tokens if they weren't using the subscription.
That's what I assumed as well, like $1 million in drugs on the street about $3.50 to produce.
They said in the article that this kid was making new accounts whenever he would hit the "monthly max" on his old accounts, implying that the subscription still only gets you a certain amount of tokens. I dunno personally because I've never used this stuff.
The article says something about making new accounts when they ran out of tokens or whatever.
I have no idea how much usage $200/month gets but it sounds like they burned through it, the paid another $200.
