Microsoft data suggests using AI is more expensive than hiring people
finance.yahoo.comNothing factual in this article, only suppositions and possibilities with reference to MSFT getting rid of claude and Doordash CEO comments a week prior, as the title clearly ..suggests.
It's anti AI though, expect it to be on the front page shortly.
As opposed to pro AI
Hire competent people, give them tokens. The two axes are complementary, not competing.
Literally, it's exhausting to have people parroting "It's more expensive than humans", complete non-sense, many people lack the ability to extrapolate even a tiny bit it seems like?
Right.
Give incompetent people tokens, and they become 10x better at their incompetence.
The real problem: token overuse triggered the pullback "after internal incentives pushed teams to compete on AI usage." Incentivised to burn money, they burnt too much.
You linked the full discussion for Microsoft capping claude, TFA mentions Doordash and suppositions, titles don't match.
Dupe sensors need calibrating.
The first Fortune source linked in this article was previously marked as dupe here and directed to that Verge discussion. Most of the discussion on this is there, 6 days ago.
not exactly a dupe but definitely closely related.
In 1780, once horse power was way more expensive than a real horse. At least, that’s what my intuition data suggests.
Yeah but at least early industrial machines consistently outperformed humans on a specific task. With LLMs it's still a weird mix of brilliant moments and completely unreliable behavior
token prices are dropping fast though so this comparison has a short shelf life
