Why do people keep on saying that corporations will pay these price-tags? Most corporations really keep a very tight lid on their software license costs. A $250 license will be only provided for individuals with very high justification barriers and the resulting envy effects will be a horror for HR. I think it will be rather individuals who will be paying out of their pocket and boosting their internal results. And outside of those areas in California where apples cost $5 in the supermarket I don't see many individuals capable of paying these rates.

"AI will make us X% more productive. 100%-X% of you are fired, the rest get a $250/month license".

I don’t see any benefit to removing humans in order to achieve the exact same level of efficiency… wouldn’t that just straight-up guarantee a worse product unless your employees were absolutely all horrendous to begin with?

That's what most execs already believe, it's all just bean counting
