It filter to people/organizations who have a hand-wavey relationship with $500.

Usage is sus but 500 minus tax write off to even a one person business that makes 100-500k yr. not crazy at all - kinda expected.

Worth it? Huge YMMV. I'd expect a $1000 sub next.

Im surprised some countries dont have consumer protection laws that would force them to be more explicit/accurate

Typically when a product is named x500 then one could assume its at 500 level or you are getting 500 of something.

I think this is the first instance where it means you are actually paying 500$

I think that 100$ subscription is expensive but I'm just European peasant developer, not SF area oligarch.

Yeah it's wild that they don't outright state the specific usage limits.

Just trust me bro accounting.

Yes, you are. All of this was obvious from the start. The prices will go up way more soon (tm)

Maybe they're trying to milk as much as they can before open-weight models cause the prices to come crashing down?

As a consumer paying $20 now to chatGPT where i hit those gauntlet usage messages then using Muse a lot and not receiving any such messages. Im questioning my $20 a month GPT subscription and my $5 a month Gemini (Google has enough money as Meta to make it free) subscription.

Overall Ai is doing all the software development now and we the consumers are paying for this while many are out of work and if you are out of work the US tech job market is brutal!

Ai needs to be free to use without limits and in time Im guessing it will be. That could be Meta and or another who accomplishes this. Whoever does wins this race.

Remember when people talked abouthow these models are similar to gambling. Well, might be preetty much loot box logix crossed with DLC
