We have been gorging ourselves at an all-you-can-eat buffet, but the menu is about to change. AI tools that have been discounted will soon start charging based on your usage, raising serious questions about our appetite to pay.
The answer could have big implications for the future of artificial intelligence (AI).
And the AI Tech bros aren’t doing too well in the stock market at present.


for devs (ie the only part of the bubble that is seeing any significant usage), qwen 3.8 and deepseek are fine for %95 of use cases.
there are a bazillion providers that will sell you tokens for peanuts. mix that in with self hosting where you have the resources to do so (its docker containers and a bit or orchestration not rocket science) and we will just see the market normalise to something closer to web hosting.
…and windows monkey IT departments will just buy whatever microsoft is selling.
that future is not worth 1/1000th of whatever todays AI hype cycle is getting shoved down our throats.

Must be painful if that’s what you pull out of your arse 🤣
Can you explain in non-techwrite what you mean by your ‘services’ segment? Or am I intentionally not supposed to understand?
its a minimal https://docs.docker.com/compose/ file for running LLM models you download (eg from https://huggingface.co/Qwen)
Thank you but I’ll find out about llamas some other way. 😆
My background is totally arts and social sciences and I’m in my 70s so I don’t speak this lingo. I hope others can benefit from your advice though.
oh nice :)
its all just computer crap, same as it ever was.
