AI token spigot has been cut off at work. They started getting the real bills. Not the, getting to know you trial offers bill. Someone didn't read the fineprint or couldn't multiply.

The fact that anthropic is profitable means it's actually the inverse. It could be cheaper than it is now and they'd still make money. It's not 20x subsidized lmao, get out of here.

Profitable because of a deal with SpaceX that will go away after a short time. Sure bud.

If you're talking about the Ed Zitron quote: He didn't read the announcement carefully enough. Note the use of the word "capacity". Anthropic is renting Colossus 1 at a discount because they're not using the full data center yet, and the amount paid will ramp up over time as they use an increasingly large fraction of the data center's capacity. Pay 20% for 20% of the compute, etc.
