   LLM access is relatively cheap now because the LLM vendors are discounting their price at a massive loss, subsidized by VC, in order to get you addicted and to drive as much skilled human labor as possible out of the workforce permanently.

   The goal is monopolization, and if they’re successful, you’ll see monopolistic pricing in the future.
