alt Hacker NewsI think most people understand the need for subscriptions here. It is an ongoing massive compute cost, and that’s what you’re paying for. Your local system is not capable of running the massive amount of compute required for this. If it were then we would see more people up in arms about it.

Is this pace necessary? I feel like this is causing people to consider code to be disposable, and I think that both are a massive mistake.
We could run it locally, but the problems that matter simply don't change.
We're paying for servers that sit idle at night, you don't find enough sysadmins for the current problems, the open source models aren't as strong as closed source, providing context (as in googling) means you hook everything up to the internet anyway, where do you find the power and the cooling systems and the space, what do you do with the GPUs after 3 years?
Suddenly that $500/month/user seems like a steal.
