    Ah, but Anthropic might could maybe make more money in the future, possibly. Just imagine if they made ten times more money than they do now.

      They will… Very temporarily, and only if they don’t have major competitors by the time they raise prices considerably.

      It’s pretty clear what all these fucks are doing. They’re making it cheap now to get as many users as possible and make sure companies are completely dependent on their technology. And when they are, payday! Token prices go up, AI prices start looking crazy, separation of products into Claude, Claude Plus, Claude Plus Ad Free, Claude Enterprise, etc.

      And the companies pay for it, very temporarily, until shit normalizes and enshittification ensues.

        My point was that ten times what they make now isn’t even half of what Walmart makes.
