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.

Of course I'm deep in the red, but I'm also too old to really care.

for sure.. but there are still many many examples of comanies that evaluate their employees by how much they utilize AI 🙂 insane. But I guess that'll change quickly..

Last week, I attended an online session for our devs on how to use Copilot efficiently - and the presenter literally said "Think before prompt" (as there already is a token limit)

I'm looking forward to when "Copilot" is the name for a product abandoned by MS and a linter for a yet to be invented programming language.

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.
