Let's say that AI really is a thing and before too long, every white collar employee uses it every day to be productive enough to keep their job.
It's going to be a real bumpy road at that point when the AI companies start enshittifying and cranking up the token cost and all of a sudden you have to pay more to do your job than you get paid in return.
The whole economic arc of ride shares is going to be repeated for information jobs.

Unless it becomes practical to self-host, be it directly on your workstation or a team-wide server?
@zoul @munificent self-hosting solves part of the problem but where do you get the models, from whom, and for free?
@higgins @munificent Hopefully we will see models like this and they will turn out to be good: https://theaiinsider.tech/2025/07/15/swiss-to-release-open-multilingual-llm-model/. Who knows, eventually we may even get models that were trained without breaking the copyright
