The more I think on the problem, the more I believe this will be solved with US interventions. And the interventions will increase inflation by a lot, so prices will not go down.

The other alternatives with LLMs becoming more expensive in an Uber-like move may not work due to a lot of competition. I also don't think usage will increase 10x. I don't always have coding tasks for an LLM despite it being good.

My reasons to believe so are outside of what interests HN community and I am neither endorsing this behavior, nor I think it is that simple. But US also has a huge debt that it must service. Wouldn't it be convenient if it was suddenly halved in actual value?
