I wish they would just rip the bandaid to stop everybody's entitled whining.

"We're sorry, what we were able to give you for $100/mo before now needs to be $200/mo (or more). We miscalculated/we were too generous/gave too much away for too little. It's a new technology, we are seeing a ton of demand, we are trying to run a business, hope you understand. If you don't want it, don't pay for it."

I would understand the move, but boy would it play right into the "AI is only here to make the rich even richer" feeling wouldn't it?

This is my take too, although I'm not prepared for a max400 reality to replace the max200, but... I hate all of the whingeing. Piggies at the buffet line seem to be the loudest on this subject.

Are we at the point where there are external constraints that cash can't solve?

can't tell if you're being facetious but yes, there's not enough cash in the world to double energy/silicon fab capacity in a year. Infrastructure takes time, hardware is hard, and you have to be willing to bet that the demand will be there 5 years from now to make an investment today.

		Until one has the entire supply of world GPU production, cash can solve it by out bidding others

Just put everyone on pay per use with the API and rip the band aid off.

		Even the pay per use is heavily VC subsidied at current prices.

It is one thing to pay 100 a month to make calendar apps for your linkedin and birds on bicycles to get invited to talks, paying 200 HOWEVER
