AnalysisDraft — in progress
Sai Krishna V29 Sep 2026

AI may be smarter than humans. Nobody said it was cheaper. An unfinished look at what it actually costs.

AI may be smarter than humans and all that but who says it’s cheaper.

If you are not aware of the costs of AI please let me educate you:

  • AI needs energy. You know, like Oil, Gas, Nuclear, Hydro and all that jazz? That shit ain’t cheap.
  • AI needs data. Well you know that little checkbox you tick before you sign up EVERYWHERE. Yeah babe that app ain’t free

This piece is still being written. It is published here in draft so the team can read along.
