Its an approximate 160k ÷ (9 months x 28 days a month) = 635.

I dont think this is comparable to buying a barrel of oil at all. A software factory like this, I'm assuming is going to be run 24/7.

I get what you're saying, but thats assuming someone's buying their software at the faster pace as well, which we don't know.

I'm comparing cost per $ of revenue, not labor. And my math is for a scenario assuming a company is running this type of software factory year-round.

Now one could say that the same feature that a customer would've paid $1M for was done in $4k instead of $160k. But buyers are going to demand much more as they see this kind of pace. You'd be able to charge maybe only $10k, because your opportunity cost goes down since you only spent 2 days; you can't keep the same margins that you needed to in order to justify spending 9 months on it. I think it gets very complicated and we're yet to see these economic effects.

Humans: $160k / 9 months = $600/day

AI Software Factory: $4172 / 2 days = $2086/day

This seems unsustainable, unless you're also generating 3x the revenue.

Yup, this is the solution for a huge class of "slow" apps. More alternatives like PowerSync here: https://zero.rocicorp.dev/docs/when-to-use#alternatives

Would really like to hear the motivation behind why you're building this :)

What I took away from their explanation was that they built this for those contract customers (the kind you are talking about) and have had regular consumers asking for this (who want this for other reasons) - why else would they put it on B&H and not just a contact us page on the company website?

I don't know how you can say with confidence that a few hundred dollars and not marketing this wouldn't have an effect on sales.

>Nikon tells PetaPixel that this is to evaluate potential market demand for similar products moving forward.

Yes, evaluate market demand by making it more expensive and doing 0 marketing. /s

Am I crazy in thinking that doing it this way is close to meaningless?

Pretty sure we're talking about the output text, not the tensors.

I think they're talking about these sections:
