theyre not the ones being billed for it; dont worry what they think. ai spending is in enterprise situations. mostly coding/tech companies and finance companies, and well lots of companies. the big payers though are coders and finance. there isnt really anything to not trust. it codes and answers questions and picks stocks. nobody's hooked it up to skynet. nobody's built skynet. the billionaires borrowed more money than they can afford unless their ai models win long term. i think theyre in a semi-humbled moment.
