alt Hacker NewsJust to put this in context. If every company did this, all over the world, with that same limit, we are talking about something around $45B monthly in revenue for all AI companies to share.

There are a lot of places in Europe where 1.5k$ is more than 50% of the total cost of an employee.
And the obvious question: what it's the cost of that revenue? Because it looks huge but ...
Are you saying there are only 30 million people employed in white collar jobs in the world?
45 billion / 1500 $ is 30 million workers. How did we arrive at 30 million?
That's a bold assumption. Increasing costs by roughly $18 000 per employee worldwide is highly unlikely. For reference even at FAANG in Europe, that would be a 7-15% cost increase for a senior developer. More like 15-30% for non FAANG and even more for non-European markets.
World bank says there are 3.7B employed humans. Putting the total addressable market at around 67T if all of us spend USD 1.5k on tokens every month. This lines up well with current forecasts from the major AI labs
