    Individuals using AI are a tiny drop in the bucket. Think bigger: Businesses and government.

    There’s government agencies racking up token usages to the point where Google had to build an entire data center on Christmas Island (the place with the cool crabs) and that still won’t be enough! And that’s just one government!

    Companies are using AI in automations now and it’s working so well that they’re willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars a month (on tokens) just on that one automation.

    These usages are where demand is growing. Not regular people or even developers using AI to help them write code.

      it’s working so well

      Citation needed. I work in a midsized IT corpo, I don’t see it working that well? Sure, some shit is shipped faster, some is shipped slower, customers churn is 2x higher than “planned” and prod bugs have doubled.

      (And we do all the fancy shit, looping, custom harnesses, orchestrations, handovers, savepoints, post delivery pipelines, autoremediation, blablabla, context, graphs blabla)
