"We'll subsidize your inference, but only if you sit here and waste your time doing it manually instead of having your agents do it"
Please let this be a short-lived era.
providers make it so hard to tell what ai inference costs you basically have to hit another llm afterwards with some context and have it guess to the fraction of a cent
It would be interesting if the cycles are so compressed at this point the `AI winter` doesn't end up being meaningfully distinct from the `AI boom`, they just kind of play out superimposed, and you see one or the other depending on how you squint
