Why not point your clanker at this and ask for it as a blog post?

Sorry, you need to sign up for HN+ if you don’t want to be downvoted when pointing out the obvious enshittification that will occur with LLMs

World bank says there are 3.7B employed humans. Putting the total addressable market at around 67T if all of us spend USD 1.5k on tokens every month. This lines up well with current forecasts from the major AI labs

It’s in the training data!

I would guess they are trying to maximize training data
