The AI Rug Pull

As a guy paying $20 a month to Anthropic and OpenAI, my take-home message to myself about this is, “get busy with learning and doing this stuff!”

It’s like a $50 off coupon for Harbor Freight, only instead of it being a good thing that can only be used for one purchase, it is a life changing thing that will only be available (at almost-free prices) for 3 to 5 years.

I don't think either freemium or low-tier consumers will get cut off. You have to maintain dominance in the public mind, and use it to cut out competitors in an ever increasing product set. You can't compete with free.
