At some point, the cost of AI is likely to increase by at least 10 to 20 times. When that happens, will companies be willing to pay for it?

I just saw this advertised:
Anthropic: Research Engineer / Scientist, Alignment Science, London - Annual Salary: £250,000 - £270,000 GBP

Not that I'm qualified to do it, but I wonder if those are real salaries?

Is anyone building or has used chatbots with Shopify for customer interaction? Theres a ton of Apps in shoppify but do they really add a lot if its just streaming customer queries to an LLM. Does anyone have any recommendations here?

Here's a sneak peek into what we have going on to move #fsharp "static" site generation forward - a project we're calling Flightdeck. This is an early experiment with its forbear, Fornax, to demonstrate how styling dovetails between frameworks - TailwindCSS, DaisyUI and Prism. youtu.be/SoR-aaXT3hs

Look at all the C# fan boys in the comments, it just shows the lack of thought work and indoctrination. Go or Rust are the obvious choices here as you want the compilation to be as fast as possible with no overheads.
