  • Because of centralization, open source exploitation by multi billion dollar corporations, high costs of living and overall size and impact of the industry.

Everyone is complaining but nobody is willing to help to change something because corporate make profit, C-Levels earn hundreds of millions and shareholders are happy.
















  • With Levels.fyi pegging the 75th percentile software engineer salary at $375,000, Tunguz estimates that adding $100,000 in annual inference costs brings the fully loaded cost to $475,000 — meaning just over 20% of the compensation cost could come from AI usage in the future.

    and later

    Tunguz has been building AI tools and models into his daily workflow and is automating 31 tasks a day at a cost of about $12,000 a year in inference.

    This article is insane and proves me more that AI is product for rich people. Most of developers won’t see $100k per year paycheck in their lifetime.
