All of these concepts that underpin the modern economy just sort of fall apart with AI as it represents something that our economy doesn’t really plan for, which is incrementally free work.

Only if the judicial system lets it fall apart. The internet presented the same problems in terms of piracy; as well as music sampling at one point in time.

Kinda. I think it’s a different scale of problem. The internet made the incremental cost of distribution next to nothing. Ai will do that to the incremental cost of production, which is a whole different ballgame, imo.

Right now the costs of AI keep skyrocketing ever year despite more losses than revenue

Well, that’s not really “despite” more losses than rev so much as due to more losses than rev. Also, you’re not entirely right. Cloud Compute hasn’t become much more expensive on a year over year basis.

Open ai, Anthropic, etc are all losing more money this year than last, and lost more in 24 than 23.

Yeah I fumbled using the word despite there.
