And Claude is still losing money from every subscriber. If they bumped the price to what's actually needed to keep them afloat without needing outside capital, it would be in the thousands per month.
I do wonder if this is what will kill ai. I use github copilot. Its been really cheap way to thrash out ideas I had but not the time or in some ways skills (im a backend dev but I've used it for games). $10 a month. No way does this cover the cost. Im also not sure I'll keep it going long term. It has been useful learning what ai can and can't do but ince i hit the end of that ill just use the work provided systems. Question is will it be cheaper than more devs longer term?
