Re: discounting… Given that OpenAI is burning billions and making trivial revenue in comparison, the cost per token is probably going to skyrocket when Sam runs out of BS to con the next investor. I’m guessing the only way that token cost doesn’t explode is if Claude ends up in Amazon’s hands and OpenAI is Microsoft’s. Then Amazon, Google, and MS can subsidize if they want. But as standalone businesses, they can’t make it at current token prices. IMHO
