If we raise prices 13 percent and only 10 percent leave our service... Huge profits.
Wouldn't you rather do less work for more money?
Imagine all the video streaming and storage infrastructure which can be rented to AI Bros instead. Imagine all the CSAM and copyright infringing material Grok and Co. can generate with all these free resources!
This is a "smart" business decision and that's why capitalism is bad.
