It finally puts a number on productivity gain of engineers with AI. This is probably less than 10% of the cost of an average uber developer. So they don't assume much more productivity gain from AI than 10%.
(Cost of an employee is much higher than their salary, it includes things like office space, supporting structures like HR/accounting, insurance, hardware/software, and much more)
But is it an accurate number? Does AI reach diminishing returns after $1,500/month, or is that all they are willing to risk/burn to stay in this game?
