AdminAccount··on AI slop is killing online communities
The hosting in it of itself is relatively cheap however with the current attempt by pretty much every major player to outpace one another means they are heavily investing in R&D/ model training, related infrastructure expansion, personnel recruitment/poaching etc. This all makes (to my knowledge all) major model provider run at a net loss despite the huge revenue some have.
AdminAccount··on AI slop is killing online communities
I think the only reason stackoverflow still has any activity is because the community choose to ban AI content [1] and so did most of its other networks [2].

Perhaps it will even see a (small) resurgence when AI providers start charging for the actual costs.

AdminAccount··on Atlassian enables default data collection to train AI
A to my knowledge unconfirmed claim by the register states:

"Tseytlin said that some Atlassian customers are completely excluded from metadata or in‑app "data contribution" entirely. This includes those who use customer-managed keys, or bring your own key, Atlassian Government Cloud, or Atlassian Isolated Cloud users. He said Atlassian will also not collect metadata or in-app data from customers with HIPAA compliance requirements or from some government and financial services customers."

Yet another reason not to get a product you can not host yourself.
