That as well. But everyone reading GP’s posts knows in their bones that it’s unsustainable. It’s economically unsustainable and environmentally unsustainable, and in that context it strikes me as pure hoarding behaviour. Taking as much as they can for themselves before the house of cards crashes down.

I have no sympathy for OpenAI or Anthropic as corporations, but if these are the new tools of the trade, then platform abuse like GP is bragging about serves only to destroy the livelihoods of the rest of us who are content to use our fair share.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch, and the bill always comes at the end.
